Sony – Levels of PSP piracy are “sickening”

“who quoted me to begin with?”

Erm, logic fail.

If I’m quoting what you ORIGINALLY SAID then how can I be the person that kicked things off? Typical pirate: You’re completely oblivious to your own cause and effect. Surely if you hadn’t said anything in the first place then I would have had nothing to quote would I?

You’ve just scored an(other) own goal.

“who is saying the same crap for 340+”

Well, whilst I’ll claim I’ve made a lot of posts I don’t think that number is accurate. Logic seems to elude you and now your skills with basic numeracy are called into question.

I’ve said the same thing because YOU are the same thing regardless of all your different efforts to dress up your greed and selfishness into something more wholesome sounding. You’ve flipped and flopped and pulled every single ‘Moral Pirate’ excuse in the book – but you’re still a software pirate.

And I’ll speak to whoever I choose DaMan, you have no say in who I speak to. Perhaps if you stopped talking I would have nothing to respond to.

Ah, no. I forgot: nothing a software pirate does has any effect on anything! It’s always the rest of the world that is to blame!

Shatner is a beast, who is this guy

… What? English, do you speak it?

well you two have a lot in common.

Be that as it may, I’m me and he’s him.

Except at weekends. F’nar.

“… What? English, do you speak it?”

Still quoting other’s lines. Tut tut.

Meh.

…

DAMN.

Still going. I love it.

The prospect of DirigibleBill becoming an alien-fearing zealot has served as a bit of a boost.

Besides, Loltaku has comment threads this long just for posting a picture of a Mario birthday cake.

hey Lutz stop pirating my words punk

O_o

no, he’s not a prick. I’m sorry, this is some kind of mental ilness.

you started debating my point, didn’t you? you could’ve just comment on my post and move on, but no – you keep talking to me, even now.

you’re a shizophrenic, my man.. I wonder if you think your comments make pirates download less stuff? you have to understand that no matter how much crap you post on this site, nobody will change because of that.

” I’ve said the same thing because YOU are the same thing regardless of all your different efforts to dress up your greed and selfishness into something more wholesome sounding.

yes, but like I said you’ve made your point, I made mine. what now? talk until the end of time?

hahaha. priceless, “I’m talking to you even if you don’t want to talk to me”! haha.

shizophrenia. that or you just have to get laid at least once in a week.

yea but VG247 is more sophisticated than Kotaku IMO

See.

I told you he was nuts.

By the way… are there any 100+ comments news items on VG247 that don’t involve Shatner?

I SERIOUSLY doubt it.

who me? Im not nuts im a Seed(er) get it …. Seeder….ok nevermind

I see that DaMan’s grip on reality isn’t any firmer but he’s really determined to go down the school-yard insult route.

I like how he’s quoting me with “inverted commas” but actually making up things I never said to put between them. Then he goes and argues against those things!

Also the bit where I was unfair not to just let him enjoy being a software pirate without being criticised by anyone is a bit of merriement.

The only remorse DaMan shows is that he doesn’t like his greed and selfishness being criticised. He’s still happy to be boast about being greedy and selfish, just so long as you don’t criticise him for it. That’s just not fair.

How noble!

Days in a leap year!

Nah, not you TEA.

@ Psycho, ask the same about yourself also buddy

“See.

I told you he was nuts.
”
G1GA – 100% agreed. now I understand why you’ve posted that stuff last autumn..

dude if we make it to 400 comments i’m donating a $1 for every piece of media content I have pirated to the nearest church

maybe shatner is a bot?

@theevilaires – Yeah, but it’s not generally me… umm… “stimulating debate”.

For the record I blame myself for starting this mess with a statement that I made all the way back at comment #7. I feel ashamed and I deeply apologize if people got upset by any of this…..

Shatner Rules! but so does Free Stuff

People aren’t nuts for objecting to scumbags like you, DaMan, for making their hobbies more expensive and for compromising the experience they get when they PAY for things.

You steal and you ensure the every paying customer has to pay MORE. Then you go on about how hard life is where you are and you should steal so you can give games to your mates.

You write endless bullshit excuses to make your shitty behaviour look reasonable and when you run out of excuses you just attack your critics with childish remarks.

You’re lying scum that shows no remorse for your crimes. It’s not nuts to object to people like you who think that ripping people off is fun hobby and rubs it in their faces.

I’d question the sanity of those that support your selfishness and greed rather than those that object to it.

But you’re a software pirate. And you still believe stealing from people is ok. And you increasingly show truly gobsmacking levels of ignorance and insularity in how nothing you ever do affects anything at all.

You’re exactly the worst sort of moral pirate theiving scum I referred to in my earliest posts and every single thing you’ve written has proved it. And I don’t care how many times I repeat it.

hmmm.

I wonder if that wall of propaganda will make any effect on the amount of seeders.

visit a psychiatrist, Shatner. seriously.

Shatner FTW, seriously

too bad he’s like that on the internet. I really hope you can do anything irl, Shatner.

for the record, all he did was dismissing my point.

Stop pirating software DaMan.

Seriously.

Your childish remarks don’t make you any less of a thief.

Shatner seemed to be implying before that it’s ok to break the terms of your PSN service and user agreement.

Seemed to be suggesting that there was nothing wrong with lying on a contract in order to download content that Sony specifically didn’t want him to have as someone outside the SCEA territory.

I don’t see much difference between someone who LIES to get software that he’s not allowed to have, and someone who uses a keygen or a crack.

shatner – see above.

Holy shit G1ga just cracked this case. He makes a good point but hold on G1ga most of the stuff is free anyway and sony doesn’t make huge profits off of game demos and teaser vids so i guess you don’t have a point….

I’ve been waiting for you to try that one G1GA.

Unfortunately, I did nothing of the sort (not that you ever let facts ever get in the way of your opinion!). And the incident you’re hoping to sound clever about was regarding free software (free as in the software publisher was distributing it for free, not because a thief decided they didn’t want to pay anything for it).

By all means, quote the article and we’ll see just how much of an unhinged fruitloop you were with your wild accusations and SCREAMING CAPITALS.

It’ll just show you as being wrong twice (then and now) and a little too desperate to disrupt things – even at the expense of your own credibility.

Not only that, it shows your complete ignorance in the difference between copyright and distribution.

So, unfortunately G1GA, your recollection is based on your guesswork and hoping to imply I said things that I didn’t.

Oh, how’s that rock-solid guranteed PS3 price cut from 3 weeks back going on Mr. I never get my facts wrong? Hmm?

Ah, we’d better change the subject or call in the MDF! Can’t have G1GA’s ‘facts’ being shown up for the bullshit they are can we?

You’re a little too much of an unhinged troll to really pull off anything serious G1GA. You didn’t really plan ahead.

But it’s an opinion Shatner. How can it be wrong?

BOOM! HEADSHOT!

LOL!

Your childish remarks don’t make you any less of a thief.

Correction, copyright infringer.

Spiral, you’re still doing the knee-jerk contrary thing. Don’t you kids have any new tricks?

It can be wrong because it’s not an opinion. Nor is it fact. It’s a troll with a silly internet grudge hoping to throw some vaguaries into an unrelated conversation that’ll make him look clever.

Alas, whilst I know what he’s alluding to, I also know what I said.

It isn’t what G1GA implies I said and he is therefore wrong.

By all means have a look at what G1GA is referring to (funny that he didn’t link to it isn’t it? ) and you’ll see the specifics for yourself. Not the fuzzy claims G1GA is hoping to discredit me with.

You’ll also see a lot of crazy screaming and trolling from G1GA. But then, it WAS a Sony-focused topic.

G1GA’s awfully good at glossing over his own poor behaviour when he’s hoping to besmirch someone else

btw, it’s 387 and he still didn’t answer how a chinese who wouldn’t buy the game anyway damages the devs. morally unfair – yes, any real harm – no.

Thing is TEA, if you’re (not you, him) going to act like a self righteous, holier than thou, condascending idiot, you’ve got to make sure you aren’t so obviously hypocritical.

Fair enough, if you only want to pay for stuff that you can’t get for border reasons, do what you want.

But don’t act like you’re whiter than white when it suits you, because it’s clearly not the case!

PWNED!

OK, people. I think we all need to take a big step back, breathe out and fire up some Youtube detox tunes.

Seriously now, let’s call it a day. I really don’t want to become a Scientologist.

I don’t regard myself answerable to thieves.

And, with the Demigod example, it’s already been shown just how much ‘real harm’ is done by those that insist they were never going to buy the game but pirate it anyway.

DaMan, you will never gain the moral high-ground in this topic. You will never succeed in presenting yourself as the victim or wronged party.

The way you leap enthusiastically onto ANY angle that presents itself that might make you look less of a scumbag or might demonise your critics is a wasted effort. Espeically depending on any garbage G1GA posts. Nobody takes him seriously!

Remember that, in the last week, 4 people have been fined and sentenced to a year’s imprisonment for acts less severe than your own.

10 more posts to go and it’s tin foil hat time for dirigiblebill

Isn’t Demigod an MMO?

we all agree shatner is going to the moon with this but he’s ultimately right….doesn’t mean im gonna jump on his train any time soon, but shatner you have my word I will never pirate games…any more (sorry had to get the whole NES,SNES,and Sega Collections on Roms)

SWING AWAY

” DaMan, you will never gain the moral high-ground in this topic. You will never succeed in presenting yourself as the victim or wronged party. ”
see? shizo.

I will never gain any moral high ground when I agreed that it’s morally unfair..

lol DB is going to oprah and start jumping on couches

Note how enthused G1GA is getting?

Note how he’s still not linking to his so-called proof or willing to go into anything specific about his claims?

He won’t do either of those things because he knows it’ll backfire on him.

He will, on the other hand, just carry on as if what he said was irrefutable fact and do his LOL! prancing about and general disruption.

He won’t ever answer the PS3 price cut question because his precious internet ego will take a bruising. Just as it will if he ever substantiated the vague claims about me.

Bluff and posturing.

This is the end of the thread.

———————————

That line right there, that’s the bottom of the page.

OHSHIT.

XENU IS COMING.

So, has Shatner backed down and said sorry for being wrong (again) on the internet yet?

lol
