JKKDARK Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 That and being so open with using the word "pirated" is just so taboo. Refer to them as "backups". May seem a bit anal, but that word makes some cringe. My "backups" aren't pirated, because I believe real piracy is one where you are SOLD a backup and someone on the street is making money off it.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Your "backups" are piracy if you downloaded them.

Dowloading CD images is simply illegal downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
