"Anyone know how to download a game (PC) on Kazaa and then burn it to cd and play it?"

Does anyone know how to download a game (PC) on Kazaa Media Desktop (peer to peer) and then burn it to cd-r and play it? Do I need to have all the files from the cd or will it work if I just download the file from kazaa and then burn it to a cd-r? Also, does anyone know of a good site (preferably ftp) where I can download some of the newer bootlegged rpg's?(role playing game) And one more thing: Is Halo on PC yet?

Thanks

Wookie, I understand your reasoning behind the statement printed in the manual. Obviously you are not aware of the economic ramnifications associated with copying cd's or software. The manufacturer puts this statement into the manual or on the cd (sometimes even locking the cd with a copyright code) to discourage any copying. If all buyers of the software (legally) copied their product, there'd be no use in selling it. They'd sell one (theoretically) and then everyone would mooch off of everyone else. But, the user is within the full boundaries of the law by (buying) and then copying a product. Again, to the law, this is not a product after it is bought, it is merely data, which can be corrupted, changed, duplicated, whatever... It is only broken (the law) after it is resold, or redistributed at a price. Now, one could go on to argue that a simple exchange of materials, such as cd-r's or medium to produce the software onto, could be construed as a payment. Of course, this is open to the interpretation of the courts. And, as you probably know, the U.S. and British systems (as well as many other democratic systems) are based upon a common law system (precedence), whereas the international system takes a bias toward the roman law system of interpreting on a case by case basis. Obviously, the internet is not a uni-national entity, so it is not bound by local or national laws (as evidenced with the 1st ammendment push on the internet in the US), so it must then be referrred to int'l law. As for myself, I might be tight.. Yes, I am, actually. I am a third year pre-law student here in the US, and obviously struggling to make ends meet. If you've ever been to college, you'd understand. Everyone here needs a break now and then and a game or two for a little while certainly helps. As for your statement regarding me being tight: If I were arguing this in court, you'd have handed it right to me... You backed off your argument of the patent/copyright laws attacking me head-on about my financial status, which has no bearing. You just lost your argument, adhering to my statements.. Bad attorney! Anyways, it's all fun, right!? As for Garbe, you need to get a life, surfing the internet looking at porn is defintely bad for the body (posture, wrists from pleasuring yourself - carpal tunnel syndrome). Actually, I do beleive the restructing of your gov't modernly has been attributed to the success of the US gov't.. Seems big brother ( UK) is taking lessons from the US? Also, take a look at the buying power of the US, plus the might (both militarily and democratically speaking) that we possess. Nations tremble when we mention foreign policy concerning them.. Why are you guys jumping on our bandwagon!? Anyways, simply put, the US rules!

I have reported him and what a load of balls about the IWP lol

Sure went downhill after we left.

Cool! Don't forget to give them the URL, and your home address. Then we'll see how lightly they take software piracy.

Shut up and go away you silly little boy! You are so immature you can't see what you are doing and take your silly little threats with you!

So that part of my instruction manual for one particular game which states:

"No part of this manual or the the described software may be copied, reproduced, translated or reduced to any electronic medium or machine-readable form without the prior written consent of..."

...means nothing?

You seem to have a very - umm - 'unusual' take on the laws governing software piracy.

Still, for all your apparently in-depth knowledge of international copyright and patent laws, it still means you're too damn tight to pay for a game.

If you know so much abuot the law, maybe you should become a lawyer? At least then you might be able to afford a game now and then.

Thanks to all who have added to my thread. You've just been reported to IWP, a service that polices the internet. Thanks for giving me information about how to destroy a computer. The webmaster should be contacting you shortly. Damn Brits, no wonder you guys lost the war, couldn't think ahead of your noses - too high in the air!

Contrary to your dis-illusioned legal thoughts, garbe, what I ma trying to do is actually legal by international patent laws. You see, when infringement occurs is when I sell or distribute the bootlegged product commercially without expressed or written consent of the maker or if I were to show the game and charge admission to see it (basically anything resulting in profit on my end). With peer-to-peer file sharing, the product has been bought by another user (obviously he has to have it to post it), and he thens obtains his own copy legally. What he does with it is no concern of the maker of the game, as long as he adheres to the patent law and redistribution law. Technically, he is not supposed to reproduce it, but by paying the fee to buy the game (whatever it may be), he has purchased individual rights and a legal license to view/play/access the game. Again, he can copy, fax, shred, do whatever he wants AS LONG AS HE ADHERES TO the PATENT and REDISTRIBUTION LAWS. As to the pertinance of the XBox forum.. If you'd so kindly read beyond the X-Box label and see that it says "Microsoft - XBox & Windows," you'd understand that about 85% of all PC's are Microsoft Windows-based (thus PC Game compatible). I do believe you are in the wrong here, garbe... Also, X-Box can be interpreted as a smaller version of Windows since it WAS designed by the SAME Redmond, WA (USA) maker of software and hardware.. You might want to read the fine print. Also, if you are wanting to learn about patent, copyright, and trademark laws, you could check at your locla community college/university for a class. Try the introductory courses first, you might learn some things there!
As for Tom, you aren't sitting on the bright side either. A Bios update is not pertinent to any software regarding to games. Good try, I almost flashed my bios and formatted my hard drive for you, you darn hack! "Honest!" Ha ha! Darn Brits! Go back to school and learn your laws and then check into computer classes...

Xbox and Windows forum!

Still, it should be in the Web Design, PC, Internet & Freeola forum.

Actually, it shouldn't be anywhere, because it's about pirated software.

But since we like helping everyone, follow Tom's advice. He knows his stuff.

hahahaha
