There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hi all,
There is really two types of piracy.The one the average person might do like copy a dvd or cd for use in their car or for a friend to listen to.
Then there is the organised and systematic theft for profit that these chinese were caught doing.
The former will never be stopped unless all forms of copying media and machines to copy with are band.This I believe does not really cost the big record companies money as most things copied would probably not have been bought by the person getting the copy or it has already been bought by the person making the copy for themselves.
The later on the other hand does cost millions in lost revenue for the compaines involved and should be crushed out of hand.
One note about piracy.Who makes the machines to copy discs with and also provides the media to do it with.The same companies who are bleating about their lost revenue from the sales of dodgy music and software.
I do not condone piracy,But do not think it will ever be stopped.
In many ways the record and software companies they want their cake and eat it at the same time.

Really want to torture them, send them to a DMW in Florida around June and make them wait in line for a couple months.
