The people who upload torrents

I don't think they are jerks, I just think they are naive. They haven't made work yet that they considered hard work and valuable which is getting ripped from under them and given to the public while they sit looking at the price tag wondering why so few are buying yet so many own.

I am a hobbyist photographer and I know damn well how I feel when I see my stuff getting taken and then printed and touted as someone else's or just flat out taken with little to not credit at all. I am merely basing my opinion based off of my own experiences. Does it financially hurt a pro photographer to have their work taken and printed without pay? Yes. It is what keeps a photographer in business to creating more work.

Torrents are not creation of the uploaders to give for free to whoever they wish, I don't see why you can't relate the two together. Both are stealing no matter which way you look at it.

Had you bothered to read my posts, I was very clear in stating that piracy is stealing and is morally wrong, no matter how you spin it. I merely pointed out WHY people pirate software - how it was really easy, and that it doesn't actually cost big game companies anything, as they incorporate it into their costs.
And you may not think they are "jerks" (I was being a bit facetious there, but I guess that rolled right over your head), but it's pretty clear that you don't hold young people with much respect.... I suggest you check out some of the great inventions and discoveries made in history... a vast quantity were made by these "naive youngsters"....
 
I didn't say switch from PC gaming to console gaming.... I said if you're in a 3rd world country, perhaps PC gaming shouldn't be a priority - food and water come to mind as a bit more useful....
lol are you trying to be sarcastic ? you're not getting the point I'm trying to say
