Well if you share files, you can be sued for theft :)


Same concept. Sharing files, slander. Did YOU make the files? No. You are essentially profiting from someone else's work. If I spend hours making software, only to let some pirate steal it, I'd hang him off Tiananmen Square.


File sharing is theft, whether you like it or not.

Having said that, piracy and file sharing is more prevalent in China and east asia states more so than any where else in the world, was that last bit irony?


War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is strength
Harness the power of Ingsoc, then you can capture someone killed the year before
