If no one cared there wouldn’t be rules about it here.
And this place would probably have been shut down long ago.

All of us, except for probably a few in certain countries, are breaking the law by doing this stuff. Frink, you have a thread where you upload fanedits that people request. You’re illegally uploading copyrighted material. I don’t really care where this guy draws his imaginary line in the sand about what’s morally okay in a grey area of morally okay and not okay things. You draw your imaginary line somewhere else. Every time Harmy or TN1 gets mentioned in the popular media, tons of people will flood the comment section saying it’s illegal, because they draw their imaginary lines on top of the DMCA (which is the enforceable type of imaginary line).
Why not save your energy for all the dicks who come here and say they’re sticking it to Georgey and showing the world who is boss by never buying a Star Wars product, including DVDs/BDs? There are cases where there is blatant breaking the spirit and word of the rule, and there are cases where you’re just being an asshole who follows someone around, trolling them.
When someone announces that they intend to follow a different moral code than our rules, it makes sense to clarify where we stand, or to tell them to knock off the discussion about it, or not to use the wrong types of sources in their edits, etc. But you’re following him into other threads with this stuff, when he’s just choosing to break the law in different ways than you choose to break the law (while still buying the Blu-Ray).
