So how about that Megaupload?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

All of those except the first were in response to insults. You saying my views were comedy, then hatta insulted intelligence out of nowhere and unprovoked. The first comment was in response of your argument that piracy is good or justified.

When someone calls me stupid outright for my stance on the matter, they are being a troll. It is called context, funny how you only quoted the responses.

I will actually take the high road and apologize for any insults, they were either unintentional or in response to perceived insults. Not sure how this topic can really instigate anger that much.

Did you even bother checking those out, of do you prefer to ignore things that do not suit your way of thinking?...

Just a small quote out of all those links:
For example, if a person is downloading music then they have stopped buying it, but research done by Harvard Business School professor Felix Oberhozer-Gee and his co-author, Koleman Strumpf, of the University of North Carolina have produced findings that illegal music downloads do not hurt the sale of CDs. In fact, in some cases it may increase the sale of certain genres of music. This idea is believed to be because most file sharing is done over peer-to-peer networks by teens and college students, groups that have lots of time but little money, meaning it is unlikely they would ever buy what they pirated. The two researchers also believe there is another group. They call this group the samplers. Samplers download one or two songs; if they like what they hear they go out and purchase the music legally.
Well, I'll be damned if that's not what I have been telling all along...

I think that's debatable...
