So far in your life, have you ever broken the law? You can answer with a simple yes or no, or go into more detail.
I'm thinking a high percentage of people have done something illegal. I'm not talking about murder or rape (though I wouldnt be suprised if some of you have committed arson) but small, petty crimes.
Perhaps you werent even aware you were committing a crime or you feel what you've done shouldnt be illegal in the first place.
Lets have a quick run down to confirm whether some things you might have done, are actually illegal or not. And no this is not a list of things I've done. (well not all of them)
Is it illegal to download copyrighted songs, movies and TV shows?
Is it illegal to park in a disabled space?
Is it illegal to steal traffic cones and wear them as a hat?
Is it illegal to prank call the emergency numbers?
Is it illegal to have sexual intercourse with livestock?
Is it illegal to park infront of somebodys driveway?
Is it illegal to film your sister in the shower?
Is it considered rape if you have sex with a drunk woman?
Is it illegal to pay someone 'cash in hand' to avoid taxes?
Is it illegal to litter?
Is it illegal for women to walk around topless in town?
Is it illegal to use someone elses WIFI connection?
Is it illegal to burn flags?
I think that'll do for now =/

Yeah, I personally see Chaos or Alfonse going in. Chaos for being an utter renegade, and maybe Alfonse getting fed up of his pictures of the Queen and commiting treason of some sort. Either that or stalking Jessica Alba, but who can blame him?
Machie will obviously hunt down, sexually assault, torture and murder Garin, so he's going into the slammer. I see Sunflower getting a lot of people arrested rather than being arrested herself.
Der Nazi still holds a grudge against Jimmy Carr for embarresing him on national telly in front of a Freeola-Wide audience, so he'll probably go down for kidnap and maybe even manslaughter. Dan_Jc can go in for copyright infringement. I see Vexxxed being sent down for 25 years for something he didn't do, but who would care about that anyway ;)

That'll be nice ^_^
So does this mean you're very much anti-downloading Garin? Or just the distributing and selling part?

Maybe you'll get to share a cell with Chaos. :)

With a chainsaw. =) I just need a bit more information to track you down first.
Machie, for murdering me. :(
I wonder who is the most likely to end up in jail here and what for?

But he just charges for the cost of the disc and not for a profit. =) Surely that's not so bad is it? Maybe 8 years.

This is a slightly different area. Buying counterfeit goods is not illegal (that is how pirated DVDs are classified) apparently. Although I'd have thought there would have been some coverage under receiving stolen goods but seems not.

I use file sharing software. That's about all of my criminal acts.
And back to this argument for a second:
Everyone's been arguing about whether piracy is a crime or not. Of course it is. But is it a crime to buy a pirated DVD? Also, is it a crime to knowingly buy a pirated DVD?
There's a difference.

I'd say that passing on copies of Vista was less horrific than actually installing it on a computer, but it is true that a court may not agree.
