I agree...people are thieves the second they think they can get away with it. Ever heard of taking candy from a baby? Essentially that's what Torrents do. Traditional media companies represent an incredibly easy target and the torrents are the candy. People don't think they will get caught or prosecuted. They do not believe they will have any negative consequences to their actions. They are far removed from the situation because it's on the internet.
Who here would walk into a store and try to snatch a game or music cd? So what makes it any better to download it? Because no one is watching? Eventually the courts and ISP's are going to find ways to prevent thefts and law enforcement will start cracking down on serious offenders.
If someone here was to be part of click fraud everyone would scream blah blah..theif, scammer, lowlife. But hey..download music, movies, and games from torrents and it's A-OK? BS.
What's the major difference? People actually get caught in click fraud. If google didn't care then EVERYONE would click fraud and just say ...well it's no biggie.
blah
