"....stealing from the rich to give to the poor, but in reality it is a cover for fraud"

LOL. I'm not arguing for, or against these guys, but i bet thats what the Sheriff of Nottingham would have said too.

LMAO - those are Canadian murderer sentences.

As if they even caused half the damage to software companies as they are accused of. I know many people who don't have the money to buy software in the first place. (Mostly stuedents) Furthermore, I know it works like this for games and music, I'm not sure about apps, but it's the publishers that rip the developers/artists off, BAD.

This is just another instance of the fat cats getting fatter. Its strange that these software companies complain about piracy. but dont mind outsourcing their work to third world countries. Thus denying the oringinal workers who made them rich a job. typical greedy SOB`s

I guess greed is big motivator for many people. However, members of release groups don't seem to it for gain. Maybe it's a hobby? Maybe they are motivated by a sense of justice? Anyone know their ideology?

most of the groups i think do it just cus they can, and being able to release something before other groups & just to get past encryptions etc (i think it's always been like that, from back in the days when all the different type of console games were being copied & released everywhere.
But the media and the anti-piracy groups come out with crap like supposedly they're doing it to fund drugs, terrorism etc.

Not saying it's right, but everything on the supposed GOOD side of the law, is about GREED. Period. We've seen it since the days of cassettes, LP's, CD's, console & PC games, and now it's DVDs

Kinda makes me paranoid that authorities can screw over anyone, using some bullshit excuse
