computer laws

[Paradox]

how many times have you broken a law related to computers?

for me, its a lot.

i've downloaded a full version computer game, borrowed discs from other people (not buying the game), been under 18 and looked at porn, downloaded full movies.... thats about all.

(hey, and dont call the cops lol)

[plith]

Same deal, except I haven't been able to get my movies to work. Plus, I use ROMS.

[Daarkseid]

Yeah I've done all that, and I feel ashamed(except for the porn part).

[Menokh]

I've done all of that.
Hell, even my OS is pirated.... Well when I'm using XP it is.

I am one of the people(a nut perhaps), who believes that all software should at least have its source code freely available to the public, and if the software itself free than all the better.

[Hermit]

Well, I bet everyone here is guilty (I know im guilty on a daily basis :D). After all, all the projects on AGN are illegal :blah:
Im guilty of just about everything except hacking, since I really don't care for it, nor have the time to bother doing anything like that.

I don't believe in the prior mentioned, all software should have available source coding, but I do believe that after a certain amount of time, games should be released as freeware/abandonware. But realistically, corporate peckerheads are whiney about their copyrights, yay for IDSA.... NOT!! :angry:

Heh, me too. I'm using Windows XP professional edition that was installed with a copied disk. Lord knows how many times that disk changed hands, and was copied. I wasn't the one who installed it though, and I really have no sympathy for Microsoft(nor do I regard their wealth from their monopoly to be legitimate... Adam Smith must be rolling in his grave...).

To quote Linus Torvalds:
"Software is like sex: It's better when it's free."

Open Source all the way! Woohoo! :D

Yeah, I wasn't going to pay 300 dollars for an operating system. The only reason I even use windows is becuase I can't afford Win4Lin.
I got my copy off of Morpheus, and it is the official release.
