--------------"I don't even like the term "piracy"...it sounds dark and negative, I prefer the term "sharing" because that's exactly what it is. Most movies I've downloaded I already paid to see at the movies (and paid handsomely if you count the transportation costs to and from, the pop-corn/drinks, and the movie ticket), so we have the moral right to share the movie afterwards!--------------
this should win an award for most deluded & illogical statement made since Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf claimed there were no invasion forces in Baghdad during the Iraq war! You morally justify pirating movies because you paid for food and drink and transportation to watch it at a movie theatre? Instead of pirating, should the copyright owners refund your food and fuel expenses then in order to re-balance the moral scales?
What a bafoon!

[citation][nom]stromm[/nom]Legally, no. Not since DMCA was passed in 1996. Duplication of any digital media even for backup/personal use is prohibited.Dupilication of analog media is still allowed for backup/personal use.[/citation]

Weird, so how come all my Blue-ray discs come with digital copies?
 
[REPACK] is not a torrent term. It's just a term you see a lot on stupid torrent sites because idiots don't know how to make it right the first time around. CiM is not a torrent uploader term either. CiM is a name of a hacking group, but also has other meanings. Get with the program and learn what you are talking about before you spout off. Damn I hate ignorance on sites like this.

...maybe because they're being provided to you by the copyright holder? Obviously if the copyright holder provides you copy it's not against the law. If you then go and make copies by decrypting the media on your on accord, without the holders permission, you're then breaking the law.
 
Really mad.. Repack.. on torrent sites.. cause a lot of people use repack when they miss up or something messes up aka sat/cable going out, and they don't notice it till it's to late. Thus repacking it. It is absolute a torrent term, but it's just not only a torrent term. So how about you learn what the fuck you're talking about before jumping on other people.

As far as the manual. Who gives a fuck. It is what it is. I doubt the MIAA or anybody for that matter could prove they downloaded torrents just from that picture alone. It could be a simple joke or a publicity stunt *most likely*.

If you want free publicity controversy is the way to go.
