Ok ... before i begin Lets remind all of us of the Forums rule that none of our post should direct to any pirated content hereafter(basically no infringement of Copyright law or Intellectual act).
What i want to discuss here is: why is sharing information on the available pirated content banned/prohibhited/dicouraged in almost all the reputed forums. Isnt it something akin to the subject of "Sex Education", where some people say that information should be openly available and thus a better society would form up as they will then be in a better position to decide what is correct and whats not.Yet a few stick to the old slogan that talking about sex is wrong and detrimental to our society!
Ok lets make it more simple.... we dont have a ban on knives or pesticides or such dangerous items which can kill someone instantly (well except for guns, that too people obtain license and still a few use to kill!!). These things can be used to kill anyone, But not every person is a killer who is at the counter to purchase it.
What I want to convey is, It is upto the person to decide if he/she wants to use such items to commit a crime or not. Similarly what should be emphasised is the ills of piracy and the enforcement of preventive acts or laws to stop piracy. Just by merely making this issue a "Taboo" in the discussions, are'nt we instigating the very human nature.... called curiosity and adventure!!!
I remember very distinctly that i was told not to go near a "well" in my locality when i was a child, I always used to go there thereafter in every single opportunity when i was sure of no watchful eyes over me. Though after a couple of visits i realised that there was nothing so interesting... ..and then left going... Well today i know it was for my safety which needs no elaboration. Similarly, by not discussing such issues in the public forums, I feel we are kind of encouraging piracy.
Also we know that whether we discuss here or not, those who intend to engage in piracy or infringement of the laws shall continue doing so without a hitch, then why force something which as such we are not able to stop.
I reiterate- Those who have to indulge in piracy they shall do it anyhow, but not every one is going to indulge in it when piracy is dicussed threadbare.
Also I know that i had few softwares for which i had paid, but not 100% of the ones i owned had been paid for!!! How many among us have 100% clean record? Well I am convinced that few among us must be 100% pirates. So It actually doesnt matter if you have committed a crime once or multiple times, a crime always remains crime. So you either be 100% clean or else u are tainted. Its just that someone is 10% tainted and the other is 90%. I am too a pirate for the products for which I didnt pay and that makes me an equivalent criminal.
The post has become too long, and long posts are generally not read, so I am stopping the present post here; lets see what views do we have to share!
