No because people who download illegally have no intention of buying what ever it is they download so no one is losing money.
Please don't pontificate to me about the wrongs and rights of grassing up dole scroungers, and don't make out what they do as somehow being akin to music downloading, it's grossly insulting.
Not as insulting as your smug, Thatcherite, me me me attitude old fella. Ever break the law Dev? If not, fair enough. If so, **** off you hypocritical **** stain.
I didn't claim to be holier than thou. What I am saying is that I won't stand for being stolen from. Couldny give a **** about any **** stealing from some other ****.
Look at it this way, people who are working on the side while claiming benefits are not paying tax and taking government money. This is money that could be spent on hospital, schools, road, etc so it is affecting the most vulnerable in society. Would you still not report them?
Do you pay for music online? Maybe it would be cheaper to buy music if so much of it wasn't stolen (which it is, under a different name)
So it bothers you that about 0.4p of your wages is being stolen by someone doing a bit of work on the side but you don't give a **** about some bloke working hard to establish himself as a musician having his earnings taken away by illegal downloading? Nice attitude by the way.
Internet tough? Hardly. Merely pointing out that I wouldn't be cowardly to grass a dole cheat anonymously. Perhaps I did go a bit far with the "enjoying" it bit. I don't have a high horse. Like I said. I won't tolerate being stolen from. Why should I? Couldny give a toss about any other **** stealing from any other ****. That's their lookout.
Aye the whole life of larry bullshit really confused me like. I was existing not living, do not understand how some people exist on dole alone
