OK, lets keep this simple. I know you said not to take any of the above out of context, but I have to.
You read the above and know that FF was banned for piracy. and distributing our work with his piracy.
YOU just admitted that you downloaded warez, and were using them for learning materials???
We have a special kind of reward for you because you engage in downloading and using illegal (pirated) software in addition to whatever payload has been embedded in your image.
Thank you for attempting to make one point, and making an entirely different one.
WAREZ are not tolerated... Period. here is your official DriverPacks "Banned" card.
I deleted the recopy of gollums post, its lengthy and makes the thread too long, the original is right above.
While I appreciate the effort to make a persuasive argument, your paragraph lacks structure and focus. Perhaps try printing a rough draft on paper and reading it to yourself before posting it, that might make for an easier read for us.

PS It is not necessary to warn anyone about the rules. Everyone has to check that they read and agreed to the rules in order to join. Someone else's lack of planning and/or poor choices does not constitute a problem for us. We do not have to be reasonable, we try to be, but it's optional.
PS I re-repaired his link .
