Because bragging about it or otherwise rationalizing it on csa2
will cause a flame war which some people think is fun.  These
are the actions of kids at play.

I used to think there was some kind of rational disagreement
going on, but no more.  At least on one side, I think the only
motivation is fun.

It took me a long time to become this cynical, but I honestly
believe that this is the motivation of bragging about these
illegal activities.

P.S.  Just watch and you will see someone or another quote
my last paragraph out of context and go into a long winded
explanation of how copying this software IS legal.  I think your
standpoint is reasonable, but the people you are making the
request to don't want to be reasonable.  It would be like
talking reason to kids with matches.
