Policies regarding promoting illegal activities.

[Bragador]

So to cut a long story short, I think that GNU/Linux needs companies like Linspire to provide temporary solutions and to encourage other software vendors to play ball. We can only do that if we gang up, and we gang up by sending money in the direction of those companies that help to solve our little missing "bits", so I would rather pay Linspire for codecs and DVD players than use legally dubious free versions.

If you pay for the codecs you are supporting the codecs. Instead I simply suggest you illegaly get them since you "have no choice" and give the money you would have used to open software foundations lile Xiph, Mozilla or for the new projects trying to create open flash softwares for example.

Or to Ubuntu

You are walking a fine line of breaking forum rules by promoting the illegal use of codecs and software.

As far as I know the law doesent say anywhere that you cant say anything good about piracy.

Though I do think it says you cant post links to any piracy stuff.

And youve got that one set to the 0 on the numpad for rapid fire action

I dont try to mouth off or anything. I just cant ever keep my opinion quiet.

It is just so... Impossible for me to sit here and see people saying things against my opinion, which would be perfectly fine, but I cant say my opinion back.

Ill try to put it in perspective... You dont like piracy I have assumed. What if me and many others said how awesome it was, while you wernt allowed to say that you were against it?

It's called Civil Disobedience: On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, by Henry David Thoreau.

No, let me put this in perspective - and this is way off track so it ends here as well.

I wouldn't say anything if I knew that whatever I said could get the people that volunteer their time for my benefit into legal trouble.

Think of that the next time we ask you to stop.

(And if you don't think simply talking about it will earn us extra scrutiny and/or litigation - we're not going to provide you with the opportunity to learn that life lesson.)
