Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

It seems strange to me how many these days openly discuss piracy, and what they are doing, how often, etc.... It's one thing to give vague instructions or point someone towards a website. But to actively say, 'I downloaded X, from Y. It worked great.' and/or 'I've downloaded loads from X, I have over a thousand X, and they all work.' it makes me cringe.

Possibly has to do with age. Piracy started for me by exchanging tapes of Dragon 32 games, and I guess recording the top 40 on a Sunday. You kept a low profile. I didn't think I would get caught. My father was friends with a policeman who was our main source for pirated VHS videos and many games. So I felt whilst it was illegal, nobody gets caught unless you put your head above the parapet. That's the point today, many seem to be a little too carefree. Helping each other out is great, and after all, piracy is about sharing. But do try and cover your tracks. Be sensible.
