Is the question you're asking "should we be able to illegally download copyright material?"

Good question is not "Why should authority take it down" but "Why should authority allow it up"

The community here does not approve of any illegal downloading or copying of copyright content ...

I never said anything about it been left or right wing! I was just asking a question!
|

I don't like that question 
A coding community should not approve illegal downloads on the interwebs! 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

An interesting poll subject would be: "Do you use an unlicensed version of Visual Studio for your development"
Without saying too much, I think that a fair number of the (honest) answers would be "yes"... (Not from me, because I live in a country where we can afford the ridiculously high license costs, but all the same, I would be highly surprised if everybody in this community said "no")

That is correct, but NSA is watching us 
By the way i use legal copies, at work (how could it else be) and at home -> student version
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

Regardless of whether it should or should not, it probably will.

Yes, from where will I be able to get my technical books otherwise ? Bring back TPB !

Watch out - somebody here is taking offense from messages like this and voting them abusive (not me - somebody worth 16 points) - Must be somebody moonlighting in the movie and/or music industry...
Very childish if you ask me...

Errr, by saving up and buying them or using the free content that is not copyrighted, on the web.

Some of the technical books cannot be found here. If I order them the cost of the shipment will double its value and it will take forever to get here, if it even comes here....
Our mail services are just worthless. They "lose" many packages and if they are not famous for their speed of delivery.

Then use the free online resources. I'm sorry, but I can't condone theft.

Look at another perspective. The author X creates series of books about some technical matter and writes about it each 2 yeast as that matter evolves. What is wrong to download some old book of the site when that book no longer can be found in the book stores and you obviously can get it in the mail either?
-You get a non paper book so you are a nature friendly
-You educate yourself
-You get an older copy the people who can get the newest copy of his book still generate money for him and I don't think someone will buy and older issue except for those for collection purposes.
And besides that I believe the author will be happy for more people around the world to be able to read his book. Personally If I could I would buy that book, I prefer the paper issue and I would support the author, but sometimes its really hard to find some books. For example the old ones which sometimes are proven better than the new ones.

Alternatively. Author X spends maybe a year of his/her life writing a book. They sacrifice their free time to produce this book. Obviously, they aren't doing it for the love of writing, they are doing it to earn some money from it. Now, if everyone in the world downloads that book without paying for it, then that author gets nothing. But, hey, it's okay to download the book because the author can afford it. Suddenly, because it's alright for one author, then it's alright for all authors. Suddenly, you get no to the point where people stop producing books because no one pays for them anymore.

It's ok, you can get the torrent file for Ubuntu from the alternative downloads[^] section on their website, so you don't need the pirate bay any any more!
