I think the problem is that if you spend more than 2 months at this site, you see this issue come up in this and other forums sometimes up to three times a week. What may be a well-known fact to some members is a total surprise to others. I had no issue with gothgurl's post, other than the fact that I have read the same post by other people a good 30 times now. ;) It doesn't take a genius to get warez, so the illustrative quality of the post doesn't bother me as it does others.

On the other hand, I DO take issue with the fact that SO MANY people in this community feel that downloading music and movies is ok, but trading Poser files isn't. I personally don't worry too much about MP3s and the like, since I think many of the music companies are corrupt, but really, how can you say "OMG Morpheus is evil because you can get warez, but I do like to download MP3s from there.." in one breath? It makes no sense. I personally don't get all up in arms about the warez issue or the MP3s or the bootleg movies, but hypocrisy irritates me. People who wear angel wings and halos on the warez issue while sorting a multigigabyte MP3 collection just boggle my mind.

So, if I offended anyone I am sorry. I didn't mean to demean gothgurl or anyone else in this thread with my comments. Hopefully I have explained myself a bit. I tend to be short when I type and I can come off all snarky when it isn't my intention. =)
