Are some people just defective?

[realityhd]

I didn't sign anything when I joined any tracker. Do you think a click-box is equivalent to a signature? Even if I had signed anything, there isn't a contract that a torrent tracker could hold me to, especially considering most torrent trackers try to stay as far away from laws as they can.

My monitor is covered in ink from signing for my online purchases, so forgive me if I read that wrong, but 1) there is a contract, with the torrents given in consideration of your acceptance of the rules, 2) or there is no consideration and therefore no contract, 3) or perhaps consideration is an antiquated concept so it does not matter, 4) maybe there is a contract, but it is unenforceable because it is contrary to law, and any judge would leave you both in pari delicto, 5) but there is one thing for certain, clicking is acceptance of the terms and conditions on a torrent site just as they are on an ecommerce site.

That sort of ignorant thinking really makes my head hurt..

It does concern ethics. So, filesharing is legal in Canada. Well, guess what, so is cheating bittorrent trackers, trading accounts, and selling accounts. So it becomes an ethical decision, no? Then tell me why you feel someone should obey the agreement they make with a tracker, and not the agreement they make with the software and games manufacturers or the MPAA and RIAA?

If your answer is something ignorant like "because you'll get booted if you don't", then why make threads whining about it? Justice will be served.

My answer is something ignorant like " because I'd like my word to actually mean something"

Argue all you want about legalities but I never willing gave me word to any entertainment corporation.
To illustrate the difference : you order me not to hit you and I still do .Would that ethically be same thing as me promising not to hit you and then doing it?

Or maybe it all just comes down to you being comfortable with lying while I am not.

Btw you've already called me stupid and ignorant want to add retarded for the trifecta and really demonstrate your class?

Congratulations. Enjoy your petty moral high-ground. You're stupid because you expect other criminals to accept your self-indulgent contradictions. You never willingly gave your word...grow up. Would you sell this garbage to a jury?

Who are you to judge? Would you sell your useless posts to a jury? Going by what you wrote in some other posts are a criminal yourself. As you do participate in filesharing. Or are you just a hypocrite?

Petty moral high ground . I wish I was smart enough to say something like that .Wait let me try ,how about "unimportant essential" or " fertility barren "..
