So let's us be settin' one thing straight:
LIMEWIRE DOES NOT YE AN INTERNET PIRATE MAKE! Yoda pirate? W/E
For those of you who are struggling with the concept of "internet pirate" or "media pirate," or whatever, let me clear this up for you. P2P/Filesharing/Torrenting/Burning your friends CDs IS NOT PIRATING! The reason that it isn't pirating is because you're being polite about it. You're not wronging anyone, you're not doing things behind helpless citizens' backs, and you're not striking fear into the hearts of your victims. You can't even call yourselves pirates. You're more like a bunch of people who share stuff. Actually, that's exactly what you are.
Real Pirates actually steal their material. Hackers are internet pirates, guys who go to intense lengths to get free internet are pirates, people who access other peoples' computers via the internet and take their stuff are pirates.
There has to be risk, there has to be adventure, there has to be actual challenge.
LimeWire meets none of those criteria.
