is everyone here up on their high horse? When did you guys become the moral authority? I'm not fuucking justifying my actions. I am questioning you guys for questioning me. If you guys download music, movies, etc., why the hell are you guys getting in my grill. And also:
1) I don't think it's the actual print edition...it's the draft so get out of my assshole
2) Get off your high horse..every two plus two f*ck needs to step down a couple of notches. If you guys are all goddamn saints, then stop playing poker and go be a priest you self-righteous f*cks.
3) If you guys already are priests, then stop molesting school boys and sucking King yao's diick.

Thank you.

You know, I felt your original post was, if anything, just a bit misguided. I didn't read it as you had specifically tried to acquire copyrighted material illegally, but someone had forwarded you some excerpts of the material.

And this is coming from someone who feels fairly passionately about intellectual property. No, I do not download music I haven't purchased, illegally share software, download movies, etc. However, I was extending to you the benefit of the doubt.

However, the tone of this post, and the fact that you did not have the simple courtesy to respond to King Yao (who contributed to this thread) have changed my mind. If you really thought there was nothing wrong with what you were doing, you would be able to face the author of the work in question with a clear conscience. Or at least say to him "I have Holdem Brain...is that supposed to be freely available"?

Your cowardice betrays you. You lack the basic integrity to address the person whose work you have stolen. And, as others have pointed out, you talked about this on a website paid for by a publishinghouse. You used their bandwidth to defend actions threatening their livelihood. You should be banned.
