What will I do without games? Probably become a recluse and do nothing all day.

Okay, here are my views on piracy. They seem to surface every now and then.


I believe in the freedom of information. If something can be free, it should be free. Software can be copied for free, so it should be free. This leaves the problem of actually paying the people responsible for making the software.

This should be done from government funding, via increased taxes. The money is then doled out to the various companies based on how highly rated their product is by the customer. optional donations of course are a possibility.

This not only decreased software produciton costs as companies no longer have to worry about copy protection, but also means that people who make a living form illegal software are out of a job - and many of these people are the sorts who are technically minded people. People who break the copy protection on software. people who are as likely to spend their time making improvements to existing software.

Yes copying is illegal.

But it well never be stopped unless Cd-Recorders are banned and they are actually made illegal in Britain.

Of course this would never happen because there are things that are legal that cd-r's are used for.

Without games, no-one would be posting anything on this site, it would just be a film and DVD site!

A world without computer games would mean that we would all be gathering round the Monopoly Board arguing other who gets the car and how much you owe the next person for landing on Old Kent Road when there is 2 hotels there!

People i dont think you realise the inportance of no copying games do you realise only 5% of games actually make a profit!! i know i had to read it twice as well and then we go off and copy them and get them for next to nothing while these game companys are ripping there hair out. I can see why you want to copy games as shelling out 30 quid is a lot of money where as copying you could get 30 games for the price of one. I think this is one of the biggest problems with the industry todayt if you have any iadeas how to get around this problem put them on here so we can all see we need to make this get heard
