Or we can not lock the thread and get over the fact that people talk about things sometimes.

I'll give Infinity Blade 2 a try. I liked the first one though I haven't played it in awhile. Thanks for the heads up about it.
Adding to the previous discussion, I know that in Germany there are actually people who sift through ISP files searching for illegally downloaded media. If they find that you have downloaded even one, you can be fined hundreds of Euros and taken to court. My neighbor actually heavily torrented on my connection when I was out of town. Knowing that I was gone, my provider terminated my connection until I called them back upon my return. They did not know who had done it but told me that someone had been torrenting through my Internet and had shut it off. Even if you think no one is watching, someone still is. My provider is the largest in the country and still took the time to monitor my connection. Anyway, as you get older your mentality and outlook changes. You might feel differently about it 10 years from now.

Sorry Lance, but you are wrong. Piracy is very serious to the owners of the IP of whatever is being pirated. Met a man today who was fined $750k for three pirated movies that his ISP reported, after it was proven he didn't legally/legitimately own any copies of any of the three movies. Computer was confiscated by the FBI also. It's not as lax as you think.
By not buying your apps, you could be hurting the home dev with the new game that may just pay his overdue mortgage next week.
I'd rather pay for my stuff just because I try to be honest, and at the end of the day, theft is theft, no matter who you're stealing from. The mentality that Ipwn has is the kind that will eventually get someone thrown in prison, and may end up hurting other people like owners and devs. Just because you think it is right doesn't mean that it is. Theft is wrong, no matter what way you look at it.
There's not a lot of people I don't have a use for: Murderers, Child Pornographers, Child Abusers, and those who commit piracy, especially when they are proud of breaking the law.
Anyways, thank you Coffeey for your informative thread. I did save some money by legitimately obtaining a few apps free of charge, because the publishers decided they wanted to give them away for a while.

And yet you're proud to be confederate? I must remind you that you can only be practically prosecuted for piracy if you live in the USA. I find your story of someone being fined 750 grand a load of crap. anyways who would pay that rather than declare bankruptcy. If this guy was fined 750K he must have been in the news. I would like to see a relevant article for this. i will remind you that this exceeds the maximum fine for piracy. if they guy got convicted he is a dumbass. he should have said that it was the neighbors using his unlocked Wifi. (this will get you out of any piracy case in a heartbeat) I'm sorry to say I am far more educated on this matter than you. I am actually registered with the United states pirate party.

I Said nothing about him not being allowed to be a confederate. i was pointing out how proud he seems to be about it. for the record you are much less free than you think in the states.

I won't lie my profile picture just as questionable if not more than his. on one hand you have a good christian with a confederate flag as his profile picture. and on the other you have a die hard Atheist with a big fat Atheist symbol as his picture. honestly jarred hit a sure spot for me. and I have been upset at him for a very long period of time. mostly for the way he used to do ban appeals. and the fact that he mentioned in several of them they he would unban them after he got back from "church". he also added my on XBox live.

I'd say that this should be locked because this got from a FREE APP THREAD to a religion war. You two are rediculous. Seriously...
