The Blackcats Scandal Revisited - Stoi Lives off Donations

[megabyteme]

dvd's argument would hold more water if the "theft" were currently happening. There is NO evidence of that beyond some imaginary, arbitrary guesses at how much the site has taken in, and where the money is going- which are based on entirely nothing.

Bottom line, some cowardly scumbag wishes to stir up trouble and controversy about someone who provides him with a free service- and has done so reliably for years.

It is a shame we do not see more threads about how long BCG has been up and running, how many difficulties they have overcome, and how reliable the site is- not to mention it is easy to seed, etc. Gratitude? Anyone?

I say fuck it, good for him. Us working folk are the chumps. Stoi found a way to make what i'm guessing is pretty good money by doing nothing but sitting on his fat ass.

*tips hat*

ralphonzo's mom lives off donations, too.

I didn't know this, thanks OP.

Geez, way to let this secret leek, now everyone who owns a website will be trying to generate revenue from it. Unheard of before now...

Stealing property or money is not the same as stealing information. No one is deprived of data when data is stolen, assuming that the data is not destroyed in its original location.

Stealing copyrighted information for your own personal use is not the same as selling stolen copyrighted information for profit, eg. selling bootleg DVDs. Making a living off donations that are said to be strictly for the upkeep of the server that allows file-sharing is similarly unscrupulous.

Thanks for the inaccurate and entirely bias Law lesson

Actually it was both accurate and objective as far as the law in most of the civilised world is concerned.

Whilst I don't care for the rest of the drivel in this thread, however worthy somebody is of derision it should always be for a valid reason.

I live in the far North and for anything remotely criminal we simply strand you on a ice flow and watch you slowly drift out to sea to be presumably eaten by narwhals so I find that "civilized World" comment a little condescending.

Since you have the freedom to perform such ceremonies I'm sure you would be more offended had I assumed you were indeed part of the civilised world.

Sometimes this civilised world seems lack a little je ne sais quoi... you northerners may have captured just that.
