Why no one should be shocked by The Pirate Bay verdict

[Speederlander]

2DBoy, Jenovachen.. either of those ring a bell?

Make a good product and you'll be known. Piss in a pot and call it soup and we'll call you John Romero.

You have to pay for World of Goo. It's $20. It's not donations. Further, World of Goo isn't open source, as was being discussed.

Hmmm... friendly indie developer with reasonable prices and what is considered to be a good game....let's see if people are pirating their games on pirate bay...Surprise, surprise they are....who'd-a-thunk it?

Let's look at some of the comments on the Bay:

I don't really think anyone should download this game. I mean we should be supporting a game thats completely anti-DRM and also anti copy protect. Its not like its really expensive either.

Doesn't seem to deter many people...note the response...

...im not gonna pay fro a game when the piratebay is here to save the day, thank you koben!

Pirate Bay to the rescue. What else is said?

Easyest to download! no hassle or anything. Great stuff, thanks alot

Sweet, glad it was easy for him!

I am not buying the game because I don't have a credit card

Wow, that's rough.

Downloaded and installed, am now playing. Works PERFECTLY! AMAZING TORRENT!

Another satisfied customer!

Here's an interesting title for one of the World of Goo torrents!

World of Goo No Crack or Steam

Sweet, no Steam. Glad that evil service has been cast aside.

Here, the same guy above (krogoth151) posted his comment again in another torrent:

I don't really think anyone should download this game. I mean we should be supporting a game thats completely anti-DRM and also anti copy protect. Its not like its really expensive either.

To which a guy replied:

krogoth151: In principle I agree. Too bad most pirates are hypocrites.

How true!!

Here's another interesting comment:

Why would you pirate an indie game?

And the response:

Why wouldn't you pirate an indie game? I don't see you asking the same question under other Indie games being torrented. Oh wait, you are the developer or his fanboy.

Guess, what, you are just making most of us spread the pirated version even further. Retard.

Wow, and there you have it. The root philosophy of the whole thing. Free stuff and he wants its. End of discussion.
