But I think that people often forget that this copyright issue involves many different medias. In fact most avatars in here conflicts with copyright law if you were to take it that seriously.
I am just annoyed with all this because it, in my view, probably is nothing but a standard "noob-flamming" act disguised as some righteous act of law inforcing. I know that Foras often have this tendency with "new guys" but lets be honest about it and just say stuff about eachother's mothers instead or something.
Wouldn't you too call that hypocritical or at least dishonest?
:)
But again.. Mothman might be the exception and thus require some appology from my part. -Or we could just let it go...

Not hypocritical.
One, you're a n00b. You don't really know anything about any of us yet.
Two, if we were downloading movies, we wouldn't be openly speaking about it. And technically, you were talking of downloading movies, because I don't believe this movie has been released, and the only way it would be on your computer is if you downloaded it, or ripped it. Seeing that it isn't out yet, the latter would be near impossible.
Three, there are a lot of filmmakers and special effects people here. I'm sure that they don't appreciate someone coming on here, saying that they have their movie, when the thing isn't even released.
As far as the MP3's go, yes, people do download those. But not everyone. I myself am a musician. I get pissed when my stuff winds up on LimeWire. But when someone out and admits to me directly, that they stole it. :mad:
