So why is something that you can buy for $100 or less (movie, game, song, etc) a maximum of **$150 THOUSAND DOLLARS OR 5 YEARS IN PRISON** for pirating

2020-10-05 16:51:29 UTC  

dont they have police and "armed polcie" over there

2020-10-05 16:51:30 UTC  

No freedom, no peace

2020-10-05 16:51:40 UTC  

I wanna be a proud boy

2020-10-05 16:51:44 UTC  

Commie Slayer, so I was thinking a few minutes ago, isnt that a violation of the 8th Amendment?

2020-10-05 16:51:48 UTC  

Yes some police over there don’t even carry a gun

2020-10-05 16:51:54 UTC  

"cruel and unusual punishment, such as excessive fines"

2020-10-05 16:52:04 UTC  

@DontBeAnIdgit true the punishment should just be pay double

2020-10-05 16:52:05 UTC  

guys look at the first meme i posted at <#760658793012658256>

2020-10-05 16:52:11 UTC  

of the pirated item

2020-10-05 16:52:21 UTC  

It’s breaking federal laws by pirating @Wardog

2020-10-05 16:52:22 UTC  

so

@DontBeAnIdgit Because generally when someone pirates a move it isn't them doing it on their own. Also, notice that it is the maximum penalty, not the minimum.

2020-10-05 16:52:41 UTC  

@Froski That’s even high for a maximum though

2020-10-05 16:52:56 UTC  

Look at debate memes for what I also sent lol

2020-10-05 16:53:17 UTC  

If I pirate a $60 game

2020-10-05 16:53:25 UTC  

It’s because the game isn’t worth $60

2020-10-05 16:53:32 UTC  

And the company that released it is a shitty company

2020-10-05 16:53:42 UTC  

*coughEAcough*

2020-10-05 16:53:44 UTC  

*cough cough* bethesda *cough*

2020-10-05 16:54:16 UTC  

But they aren't usually going to charge you or have that sort of fine. That is for people who pirate movies and post them on websites to further other's pirating. I'd look at the BitTorrent case and how widespread that is.

2020-10-05 16:54:23 UTC  

lmao

2020-10-05 16:54:43 UTC  

I dont watch nfl games on tv any more

2020-10-05 16:54:56 UTC  

because I dont want to contribute to ratings

@Froski well what do you think I’m talking about when I mention borrowing a game or something from Trent Orrent

2020-10-05 16:55:33 UTC  

I’ve only done it once and it didn’t work so 🤷‍♂️

2020-10-05 16:56:00 UTC  

Pirating games has a twist to it, usually works but u just gotta know what ur doing

2020-10-05 16:56:08 UTC  

EA is crap

2020-10-05 16:56:30 UTC  

I'm glad the lootboxes scandal blew up in their face

2020-10-05 16:56:36 UTC  

> EA is crap
@AyeSayonara72 $40 for the Sims 4 and then a range of $10-$40 for any dlc. I agree

2020-10-05 16:56:49 UTC  

Want dogs and cats in your game? $40

2020-10-05 16:56:56 UTC  

I would pay max $20 for sims lol

2020-10-05 16:57:00 UTC  

exactly

2020-10-05 16:57:20 UTC  

I mean like how much more money do these people need

2020-10-05 16:57:20 UTC  

I’m lucky I got the base game free when they celebrated it’s birthday or whatever

2020-10-05 16:57:28 UTC  

See, the issue with pirating isn't when it is one person, but people pirating and posting it online for others. It is intellectual property that is being taken and then distributed. I agree EA is awful, but the aspect of pirating is understandably illegal, and the fines are made as maximums to address large scale operations.

2020-10-05 16:58:07 UTC  

Yeah like I want free stuff and all but pirating is just wrong

2020-10-05 16:58:14 UTC  

I wouldn’t call just downloading a file then posting it on a forum “large scale”

2020-10-05 16:58:42 UTC  

for me it’s the same as non violent or whatever crimes

2020-10-05 16:58:51 UTC  

Nobody makes money from it
