The fact of the matter is, Rogue, I've studied this and I know I have more factual and sensical information to go by than you do. You're wrong, and you know your debate makes no sense. That's why you endlessly dodge my posts like a greased egg.

if you have studied this, then quote us some facts on it.
I'm not bashing your opinion, I'm debating it, countering it and giving reasons. You're not answering my question because you'll know you'll be proven wrong.
Answer my question please. I'm asking you nice enough, no need to be hypocritical and crack a gay joke, that's just sad.

Lucky... (To Big.)
No. It's just that I have so many illegal files and songs downloaded, if someone at school (Administrative staff or such.) Or a cop searched through, I'd be in serious trouble and get fined. Trust me, all of this stuff is ripped, torn and reproduced through like, twenty different people.
I dont think its legal to download SW: Ep. III for free... Or is it?

I don't have a problem with illegal downloading if the person does buy the music whether it be I Tunes, Napster, or in CD form.
Guys in the Hip Hop thread are the perfect example: there was a ton of downloading that went on, most of it illegally, yet most of those same members to my knowledge still went out to buy the music artists CD's. If this was done more, illegal downloading wouldn't be such a problem as the artist would get paid in the end.

ok, point made. but it was no more sad than questioning my manhood.are you still on the shoplifting thing? look, i just dont think that shoplifting is in the same league as burning cd's. your question has been answered, ok?
No, it hasn't. I didn't ask that.
I asked you if you believed shoplifting was ok if the person doing it was on low income. Since you believe it's ok to steal if you're on low income.
Simple question, the faster you answer, the quicker we can move on.
