i think i read that in france its legal, but i could have mistaken it for something else.
Why do people brag about stealing chess videos
Sort:
It is legal in Spain as long as you don't sell whatever it is you downloaded.
Thieves have no sense of decency.

Damn socialist Robin Hood!
When you steal a television someone has to pay to replace it.
When you steal copyrighted material, someone's effort and expense to produce it is devalued by the proliferation of the material for free where sales should be.
Theft is theft.
at least they are honest thieves, more than can be said for many crooks

My thieving buddies say this helps our economy. They've stolen dozens of TV's from me.
No, stealing is wrong in any way, even copying music from the internet, the artists loses out on that sale, etc.
which people?and why it is wrong?and how are you so certain what is right or wrong?
I guess if your famiy were starving for videos it would be okay.
To an extent a this is true, but at the same time, it's not as though there's no damages to the producers of content whatsoever.... It's been well established that in many cases, the ease of access to digital content is often the overriding reason people pirate and that given the choice, they would pay for the same level of convenience. Now, it's pretty easy to rationalize this as the recording industry's fault, and to an extent that's not inaccurate, but to argue that pirated media doesn't actually hurt sales? Explain that to Blockbuster.

blockbuster lost my business with their stupid late fee policy... drop my movie off at the drive through drop box 5 minutes before due and the lazy employee left it out there over night and I get the late charge... thanks, but good riddance to them.
I don't know about you, but there are no video rental outlets available to me anymore. Blockbuster or otherwise.
Blockbuster's ridiculous late fee policy change during their death knell was a symptom, not a cause of their demise. A way of surreptitiously selling off their inventory of rental videos because they knew the writing was on the wall.
Cable companies are next, by the way. The new set-top-box rental rules yet another cash grab in the face of declining content revenues as people cut the cord. Another symptom of an industry in decline, akin to Blockbuster's too-little-too-late late fees.
today five finger discounts are very popular
Everything you Can* get for free, is free
* aslong you dont hurt yourself or anyone els.
To see the question in any other way is okey but the future belongs to us sharing ppl.

I know exactly what you're talking about, as I answered the OP there without really thinking about how he got them, I thought he said his friend "gave them to him" and I don't recall him bragging about stolen goods per se, but maybe I need to re-read his OP. At any rate you're not the only one who feels this way, but there are lots of other folk who don't "get it" or who do get it and don't care...
