Dave: I'll admit from the outset that I'm wasting my time but you are
doing nothing more than trying to justify your actions which are in the
general sense, horrible.

You can't fuck strangers in the ass and then say "because I did that they
went to see their doctors and many of them discovered they had something
wrong with them... I'm pretty cool".

Somebody holding a gun to your head demanding your wallet "obliges" you
to give them the money "its the relative ease that makes me do it",
quite a defense.

You had and have every right to return or resell anything you purchased
if the agreement you entered into permits it.  You will not die if you
don't get to play some stupid video game.

This isn't about "enemies" or "corporations" it is just convenient for
you to think that way.  "GameCo" just must be a huge, multi-million
dollar industry (and deserving of your theft) there is no way that it
could be two guys working from their garage could it ?  There is no
way that they net just $5,000 per month and are trying to hire somebody
uhhh... maybe like you because they would like to grow.

You're a misguided dope and one I wouldn't hope to run into but I'll
wager you've got another 100 reasons why people who sell software are
crooks and crooks who steal software are princes.

I don't need a follow-up, I hate these "rationalization" threads.
