The reason there are two threads and oodles of posts per thread, is because this is a serious issue. Many of us here have a strong stance on it. It's honestly a good thing we discuss it, as long as we don't let the posts go out of hand is all.
Unlike Reddit where flame posts are common, we don't allow that sort of thing here, and that's a good thing. Keeps the forum from becoming a sesspool lol. But intellectual conversations are always welcome here, I try to provide a few myself.
For me when I put this topic on forum about piracy tried help ZorinGroup in some way if they could closed that sides.
Next a couple times reading this post on piracy I am more sad and stop interesting this subject. Why? Because I bought and I don't have a "blood on hands". Better tried help users Zorin to solve problems.
I saw Zorin group managed to request a take down of illegal copy to some sites. But there is nothing they can do for other die-hard piracy sites.
I see your point, but at the same time it is crucial to display a firm statement as a community.
Otherwise, some member can insist to help those with "blood on hands" out of misguided generosity and accuse anyone who takes a strong stance. It may sound unreal, but it did happen here in this forum.
Just like any law abiding society, we need a firm rule established to Keep the forum from becoming a cesspool (TM) @StarTreker
