That is the stupidest comment I have ever read. You know these companies that make software, they have staff, they are not going to work for free because they need to pay for food, shelter, travel, fuel, health care, entertainment, education and save some up for an emergency, For themselves and often for other dependents as well. These people are good at "sequencing bits" in new original ways, when executed on a computer that will give entertainment to others. You are not paying for the bits you are payin
Exactly. Its disturbing how many pirates only listen to the parts of OSS that they want to hear and ignore the parts they don't. Interestingly enough, the parts they always want to listen to is "free" and the parts they always want to ignore is "money."
Stealing is taking anything to which you are not legally entitled. Piracy is just another form of theft. And before some moronic blow hard jumps in like a three year old child trying to correct an adult, there are many different types of theft in most law aro
Ah, ok, so "copyright infringement" and refusing to pay when you owe the money required to pay, breaking EULAs and service agreements and such is now "broken business model."
"I don't want to pay for things that require money to make" is just defying a "broken business model."

Yeah but does it work on Linux? (Score:-1, Troll)
Didn't think so, therefore I'm not interested. Linux defines who I am.

If refusing to pay for a sequence of bits is considered cheap, then yes, by all means, call me cheap.

They will rationalize anything so as to justify their criminal activity.
Well...yes. They're "pirates". Why would you expect anything different?

But don't steal. If it's not yours, hands OFF!
It's no one else's responsibility to make your poor business model work. Using language like "steal" where it's not appropriate just makes you look foolish. [scribd.com]
