Re: Out of all of the things we all bootleg, what is something we shouldn't pirate?The high seas. Pirate those enough and you'll get a few Countries mad at you... you don't want any of the big Navys out there hounding you.

Re: Out of all of the things we all bootleg, what is something we shouldn't pirate?We shouldn't pirate anything really apart from over expensive programs like photoshop.Basically when we pirate roms or games and don't buy the game the hard working developers just suffer.

Re: Out of all of the things we all bootleg, what is something we shouldn't pirate?your mom seriously pirates kidnap people and you shouldnt kidnap oh crap did it again

Re: Out of all of the things we all bootleg, what is something we shouldn't pirate?Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.... It is the best game of all time and pirating that would make you feel guilty. Unlike other games, I actually felt my money was worth spent when I bought that game, along with others such as Metroid Prime Trilogy or Chrono Trigger.

Re: Out of all of the things we all bootleg, what is something we shouldn't pirate?You shouldn't pirate The Lonely Island's music. They're the shit.

Re: Out of all of the things we all bootleg, what is something we shouldn't pirate?Legal Documents, like your College Transcripts, Driver's License, Visa etcetera.EDIT: Addendum:Also, your College Thesis or Master's Dissertation paper.

Re: Out of all of the things we all bootleg, what is something we shouldn't pirate?Artist's work. Though I guess that's more art-thieving than actual piracy.It makes me mad when I see my Deviantart idols have their work filched off, and slapped onto commercial stuff without getting a single cent. Then there are those people who take their artwork, enter it in contests, and 'win'.Idiots, all of them.

unlike internet piracy, even if you get caught you're not likely to get tried over it.

Which is probably why those Somalian Pirates keep attacking innocent Transport (freight) ships around Africa.Forgive me for a possible racist remark, but instead of ruining other people's lives, why don't they just whore themselves for a buck.... Wait.... AIDS.... right....

lolwell, it depends on the type of person really.
that person may pirate anything due to low income or cause, well you know, chooses not to support.
i personally pirate everything except things i really enjoy %100 of the time, and give my support by buying the product.
i don't dl games like metal slug or time crisis or really good shows, such as the office, which i would like to own and then make copies to friends for profit...

Who doesn't try to make profit on pirate once and now again ::)Some rich people pirate...mostly their kids, but meh, it's a choice, why most people who are low income wouldn't bother with internet in the first place...

Re: Out of all of the things we all bootleg, what is something we shouldn't pirate?Mariah Carey's music.

Re: Out of all of the things we all bootleg, what is something we shouldn't pirate?You shouldn't pirate your bodily fluids such as your blood & organs too :P

You can also turn yourself into a computer tech with just the internet, and make decent money, such as I do in my spare time..
I get about $35-100 for each sale (in some cases when I fix computers or install programs [for gullible/or maybe not]
'rich people', who live in 'the hills' [anaheim hills etc..]) on each sale 5/7 days a week I work...
The usual amount I bring in is between $500-1,200 a month :D (1,2000 is the most I have recieved, 800 is the avarage)
I mean why wouldn't people pay the companies $1,000 when they can pay me $50 or even $30, it just doesn't make sense :P
Well, like I said programs are really expensive even for the rich...
I do buy things, which I believe, are worth the money though...

Doesn't Creative Commons allow people to use their drawings?

Replying to #18

depends in what context its used. Assuming the original work is licensed under that license, of course.

awesomebros · #18Doesn't Creative Commons allow people to use their drawings?

Don't think DeviantArt works under Creative Commons, and even if it did you'd still need to give credit where credit is due to the original creator of the artwork instead of claiming it as you own.
