[QUOTE="Shadowsong666, post: 4677412, member: 71808"] Well, i well lend my books to anyone i know and who wants to read it. :):):):), i even lend my audio cds and burned mp3s to people. I don't know how many hours i spend in copy centers to get all the rpg stuff i needed as a teenager. Times change - sharing doesn't. But hey, i am in germany. And doing all that (not pirating - i mean lending, sharing) is ok so far. May it stay so til i am old and grumpy. If not - well - time to leave the place because i do not want live in a state which tries to enforce on me which information i may share and which i may not. "Daddy, can you read me a story?" "Sure. Which one do you like?" "The ones you read to my brother yesterday." "Sorry, not tonight. I need to register a copy for you. Maybe tommorrow." Whats next? Closing down the libraries? Men - i should charge my gaming group for having the game experience they get. I mean - i provide 6-10 hours of fun with stories out of my head. How the hell do i got to the idea of sharing my IP for nothing? Same argument is valid with audio cds too and look how much it brought the industry in doing so... Sorry, but i think the industry should adapt to things that are and things that will come in the future. If they are not capable to do that there are people who will lead the way and tell them how its done. Napster to iTunes... which still isn't cheap and still the wrong people get the most out of it imho. [/QUOTE]
