I download old games from piratebay like Civilization 2 and other games you would never find anywhere else. If it's a new game like Skyrim, I'd rather buy a legit copy with a bitchin dragon statue and not have to have a permanent internet connection or be logged in to some security thing to be able to play (looking at Ubisoft among others)<br /><br />As much as the US gov and hollywood want to eliminate online piracy it's probably going to go over about as well as the "war on drugs". <br /><br />So while SOPA probably won't affect my life much, I oppose it on principle. On the principle that it's stupid to try to control the internet.<br /><br />Anyways I'm going to go play that new expansion for X3: Terran Conflict, my new flagship carrier is almost done and I need to go commit some space piracy to make money for capital ship weapons and maybe buy some more fighters. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Nim</b> <br /><small>Member # 205</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2012,0,18,2,38,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">January 18, 2012</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:38 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <a href="http://gigaom.com/2012/01/13/tim-oreilly-why-im-fighting-sopa/" target="_blank">A very lucid entry into the debate, by publisher Tim O'Reilly.</a><br /><br />Excerpt: </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Any company that is providing great content online in a way that’s easy to use with a fair price has a booming business right now.
