Re: Piracy

Sam Ismail (dastar@crl.com) wrote in his wonderful black and white view:
 
: Look, pirates are pirates.  Why try to justify some pirating by labelling
: it as "good"?  That's bullshit. 

Seems that poor, hypercritical Sam has not understood my posting...

Or is it only one of your sarcastic nonsense postings?

Well, one of the things which I hate are fanatics which see things in
a black and white view. Only three things are important to me:
1) I like the IIgs and I won't accept it if the csa community wastes
   time with idle flame wars.
2) I think the only thing which should be measured is the financial
   success which Joe and Olivier get for their good work.
3) Wanna-be-inquisitor types please stay out of csa2. Go out and beat
   up a few foreigners.

: Trying to rationalize something like
: piracy by classifying it as "good" or "evil" only makes it look like you
: are trying to cover up a guilty conscience.

Thanks for the accuse. Won't say anything about that. Only Joe and I
know the answer unless yoyeuristic little bureaucrats make him publish
the list. Or perhaps you are guilty, Sam, because you try to look
saintly so desperately...

[more flame bait snipped]

Remember guys, pay for good work and remember that LemminGS and Convert
have cost Brutal Deluxe 2.5 years of hard work... :)

AND IF THEY PIRATE THE PROGRAMS BEAT THEM! WHIP THEM! TEAR OUT THEIR
FINGERNAILS! TORTURE THEM AND BURN THIS UNWORTHY SCUM ALIVE! OR DIP
THEM IN BOILING WATER AND SEND THEM TO THE ELECTRICAL CHAIR. OR...

hey, stop! I am not ready yet. Please let me at least add my signature..
