I pirated Far Cry 4 yesterday and Game of Thrones. Am I fucked? Do I need to get a lawyer? Should I just turn myself into the nearest police station?

>>386856036
30 years in prison for pirating a 40 year old game. Land of the free indeed.

shut up nazi

there's a minor difference between questioning the validity of copyright in the case of personal use, and directly profiting from a copyrighted work

cops can literally pick you up and put you in jail for anything, the problem of scale prevents this from happening

the solution to avoiding legal complications has always been a closed mouth and a low profile, this will remain true for the forseeable future

They're in trouble for selling pirated video games, not for downloading or sharing them. All of these things are illegal but you're not going to have the book thrown at you unless you try to make a business out of the illegal act.

Intellectual property isn't Communism. Under Communism, if you create the most famous video game ever made, it's owned by the state and you don't get royalties until over a decade later, after the fall of said state. See: Tetris.

Nobody here is trying to sell pirated video games though.

They wouldn't be going to prison for pirating the game. They would be going to prison for selling what isn't theirs to sell. Stupid foreigners.

I use to use my weekly allowance when I was younger to buy pirated dreamcast and playstation games from a place called GenX

They kept having to move because cops would constantly come after them

>>386857082
freedom cannot exist with rulers, so yes it does.

Describe your ideal video game industry.

1) Company creates game.
2) All companies are allowed to sell it.
3) ???

I don't see the incentive to be the one creating games.

>>386857604
Use a different profit model

>>386857009
There is no doubt in my mind that she was in on that. That's not what robberies look like.

>>386857743

Describe it, I said.

don't you have a worthless university degree to be earning?

>>386857901
You said describe an ideal, im telling you everything else you said was retarded. If you need someone to tell you of the hundreds of games that already solved your problem then you aren't worth talking to.
>>386857939
that would be aggression so no

>>386858145
>Implying the woman didn't rat her partner in crime out.
Again, nobody would act like that during a robbery. She was probably in on it, took a cut, then ratted him out.

>>386856247
It's the "selling" part that will make the popo go after you.

probably been said already but there is a massive difference between pirating and using something, and pirating and selling something

>>386856247
You might be joking, but there're some countries where people actually go to jail for downloading movies from the internet

>>386857789
Are....you some kind of professional on the subject?

>>386856036
>buying piraed games

>>386858493
He is black, that's why he claim the robber was just a victim

>>386857789
>she was in on getting sucker punched in the face
ok

>>386858489
fuck there are countries RIGHT NOW passing and aggressively enforcing wrongthink laws. Many people in germany have already gone to jail for posting Wrong Opinions online (this is not a joke)

>>386856343
stealing from hollywood does literally nothing

stealing from AAA companies does literally nothing

SBH even did a video just the other day about how acti-blizzard and numerous other major companies use tax loopholes in foreign countries to avoid paying taxes for hundreds of millions in profits (not that most people are not already aware corporations do stuff like that)

basically point is that Big Business cannot fail without a fluctuation of major profits or crashing stock value which will never happen to them, with countless laws and backup plans in place to keep them in the green (and if those laws don't exist, lawyers will push them into approval)

also people who pirate are usually pretty unlikely to buy the game in the first place (unless they are only scouting it before making an informed purchase as some have reasonably claimed)

>>386860414
Well, germans deserve everything they get, they could have fought against it but they decided to do nothing, fuck them

PC/sjw culture has more or less castrated European culture in many places, like fuck some parts of EU are literally trash shanty towns by now, Paris is a shithole with poor and homeless lining the streets and clogging roads with trash and beds

Canada is even getting stuck with hundreds of shitty refugees america doesnt have room for, they had to turn a football stadium into a shelter

>>386856036
it's pretty sad that people even feel it's necessary to point out they obviously got in trouble for SELLING pirated shit, not HAVING it

only a total moron wouldn't expect to get caught eventually, selling pirated copies of games

and like, you want to talk "companies that will hunt you down for copyright infractions", you pretty much could not pick a worse company to rip off than Namco

>>386856778
No. And nobody cares besides you, Anton.

>>386858172

Refusing to state your argument is not an argument. "A different profit model" is not a description, ideal or not. In effect you've described only what the ideal game industry should not be.

>>386857009
>>386857789
Yeah, something is really up there. At first I thought the guy was on drugs or something because he is moving really weird, but this theory holds up too, even the punch looked fake.

>>386856247

You deserve to be hanged for playing a Game of Thrones video game but not for judicial reasons.
