I don't think i would give sympathy to people who pirate games. It's their fault. They know it's illegal yet they do it. Then they whine about how their console gets banned. If you guys don't buy the damn games you'll start ruining the industry. Actually most already have.

the banned one still works offline

let me say this again, if you can't figure out how to google the fucking process and read how it's done, you shouldn't do it. and you probably shouldn't pay someone to do it because you'll likely fuck up later and get banned and then whine about it.

that they are. I only download albums upped by the artists (ie NIN put their new album The Slip up for free) or DJ mixes upped by the DJ's. Oh and some of the stuff you can't get here, like a set of albums from Europe that cost, get this, $100/disc to import. I'll buy the real copies when I visit Europe or if I have a friend go.

so for a guy who's always up in arms about "illegal butt pirating" you admit that you have a morally gray area about pirating too, you butt pirate. how about changing your maxi-pad and stop being so self righteous about it in every modding thread that pops up

how about fuck you and have a nice day.

I have one set of albums, with a $550 mark up for shipping. And several months wait. If there was a $550 mark up and 3 months wait to get a 360 game, then pirating them might hold up more. But you can walk to the store and get games for a decent price, (of course you pay more to get a game right away) then pirating them holds up about as much as a severely leaky rowboat.

I stand by what I said though, if you can't figure out how to mod your console yourself, or at least understand whats going on, you're most likely gonna fuck up and get banned and then whine because you think you have some entitlement to play free games online that Microsoft will take away.

I fail to see the humor in someone posting on RS while at work. I think alot of us surf RS during work hours only. Off hours is where normal humans spend the rest of their day doing normal human things like socializing, gaming and getting LAID.

You're talking about people posting from work about pirating software. Are you not? Does it matter what the topic is? If I chose to surf the NSFW area during work hours MAYBE I could see it being strange or "LOL".


I think you and your Queen of England need to get off your internet high horse....your highness

I think she means you discussing pirating in this thread but using an account in which you advertise in your sig for the company you work for/own? I think that's her point

I don't really see anything to LOL about in there though, it wouldn't make me less inclined to buy something from rise auto salon because one of their employees pirated a game.

I think she just likes to argue over nothing on the internet all the while dropping the ball in every thread that she knows how to mod 360's

I still fail to see what is funny about it. It's not a work account. It's my personal account, which has been my personal account for lets say 8+ years on RS. I advertise on here, I have no problem posting porn, talking about pirating, etc etc on RS with my sig.

Been that way since the beginning.

Just like you steal movies and music you mean?

If people did steal parts from the shop I have insurance. I don't sweat it or cry over it. People buy/sell hot shit all the time, I don't care to make it a personal mission to be an internet douchebag to prove a point. Your Highness...

You know your Motegi MR7's are knockoff Advan Model 7's right? Motegi stole that design and labeled it their own. You bought knock off wheels and the original designer/creater/manufacturer got no credit/money for it.

I lol at people rocking shit they can't afford. ^^


On a serious side, you seem like a somewhat knowledgeable guy with lots of info to share, why don't you just tone it down a notch and contribute to this forum like a normal person. We get your point that you're anti-piracy. Some people give a shit, some don't. You're not gonna win any more people over by acting like an almighty know-it-all. You do what you feel is justified, and we'll do what we think is justified.

Another ban wave is currently taking place

Got this from another forum:

Quote:
Forums are going nuts but anyway it looks like they can finally detect the firmware.

My neighbor only has 1 burned gamed, Borderlands, Liteon drive, on verbatim's, firmware 1.60 and he called me at 2 saying it signed him off and he's banned.

I laughed at him, got home signed on Banned as well

I looked online and i'll be damned everyone got hammered and as far as I know my neighbor is the only one who's only played 1 game, it been fully verified before and after it burned and played it after release to get banned.

Are your consoles banned completely, like bricked? Or it is just your XBL account that gets banned? So people who ever played backup games on XBL are getting caught or even just the ones with the flashed firmware will get banned?
