This is a prime example of people who like to think of themselves as good enough to judge character simply because they agree with obeying a redundant law, as if they have never broken a law before in their lives.
If obeying laws made you good enough, there woudn't have been a need for Christ.
Obviously, theyve become so full of themselves, that instead of showing good character and encouraging you, they think mocking you and saying what good law abiding citizens they are will change the fact that you can't afford something you would like, which is the reason for your post in the first place.
Personally, I believe that if you can afford it, then you should buy something (including this program), especially if you will be using it to make money in the future. But I can't blame you for wanting to learn the program and am however sympathetic to your situation. I can't consider copyright infringment in this case stealing (according to the definiton of stealing...sharing and stealing are 2 different things regardless of what the EULA's say), but if at all possible, you should do the best you can to buy a legitimate copy if you will be using it to make money someday.
usdn rep said:Womp Womp.....I did a five year strech in the army.....Only in Germany can you drink under 21..........So I dont even need to read anything you say after that.......You cant shoot shit
Bass Master "K" said:That's funny because my buddy served too and unless shit changed in the last few years, he said you can drink ON BASE if your 18 at the base's watering hole. If you think that Germany is the only country in europe that lets you drink under 21 you are also wrong but like much of what you say this has little to do with the issues at hand. I guess next time I shouldn't just pick the easy shit that your messed up with, but I can tell you won't listen to reason so I hate to waste the time to write out a bunch of stuff that you will just disregard anyway. You will see how wrong you are if you just READ THE WHOLE POST.
I will now let you get back to your 'womping'. I'm sure your very good at it.
Bass Master "K" said:Okay, my friend was in and I know what he told me, but I'll go with what you say. So how does someone volunteering for service and not being able to drink have to do with justifying someone stealing software? If you could make the connection I would appreciate it.
By the way if your going to respond to someone, read all of what people say. If I was to stop reading after the first incorrect thing you wrote I would have made it about two sentances in. It's only polite when carrying on a discussion.
usdn rep said:No, why pay attention to somebody who has incorrect information>???? I know for a fact whatever your friend told you is incorrect......I guess maybe if he was in the navy on a ship.......But other than that, unless you are in germany, you cannot drink under 21........I can provide a link if neccessary............Anyways, my point about the underage drinking thing does not justify, but gives you an objective look @ your argument and how it sounds to me........ You are sayin stealing is stealing and a thief is a thief........And that person has no morals or is immoral........Why cause they are breakin a law???? What about somebody underage drinkin, thats breakin a law.........But they can die for they country............So are they immoral?? They do break a law.......Thats how your argument sounds to me.......That no matter what, breakin a law makes you immoral...............Bottomline..........When I'm simply sayin all you are doin by not stealin is followin a man made law, that doesnt make you a person of good character or that you have more morals then the next person......You can follow the law and be a complete shit ball...........Somebody stealin a music program is not neccesarily a person of no morals.......THERE IS A WHY behind it............I dunno what else to say......IT's said when people think they follow a law and they think they are of better character, when a law can be reversed tommorrow and you could be a person of bad character that quick based on te decision of ANOTHER MAN, not your higher being.......Unless this is a board of fatalistic atheises............

Codmate said:To argue otherwise is a logical fallacy.
Bass Master "K" said:First off, I was goofing on you when I told you to read people's complete posts...I know you read all of my post. There is no one so stupid that when they disagree with someone and are looking to rip their arguement apart is only going to read one sentance, disagree with it and then stop reading. They are going to read the whole thing looking for everything they can disagree with to comment on. I don't think you are that stupid, but if you like you can correct me and prove me wrong.
Second, my buddy was in the navy, I thought the drinking (which has no correlation to stealing) under 21 applied to all branches of the armed forces. In addition, people VOLUNTEER for the armed forces. They understand the implications of their decisions. Whether or not they can legally drink has no tie in to buying software.
When people steal software instead of buying it, it has an effect. It means the company doesn't hire as many people, they improve and support the product in a slower manner than they otherwise could have. It can cost people their jobs. You talk about it being a matter of 'capitalism', but capitalism doesn't work if people don't purchase what they use. IF EVERYONE STOLE CUBASE, CUBASE WOULD CEASE TO EXIST. There is no disputing that. So those that steal it put the cost on the rest of us who support the program.
And you talk about these evil corporations....well how big do they have to be to justify stealing in your eyes? I have two friends who incorporated their construction business...is it okay to steal from them? How about when they have a big job and employ 10 people to work with them...is that big enough then that maybe someone could take their tools and it's all good because they are a corporation who employs people? How many people do they have to employ until it is fair for people to steal from them. Could you give us a number?
I hope that if you ever take your music to a level where you are making a living producing and/or selling it, that people would pay you for your efforts, and not steal from you, as you would advicate doing to others. It isn't the fault of musicians and software engineers that their art can be put on a medium that is easily copied. They have to rely on people believing in capitalism and people doing the right thing for them to make a living. It's messed up that so many people don't mind stealing from them because they know they won't get caught. You don't like a law, then work to change it. Just saying 'well they might repeal jaywalking laws tomorrow so it's okay to steal software today' is just stupid.
Again - you being a clueless fuckwit shows-through loud 'n clear....usdn rep said:So I guess the victims of Hurricane Katrina should've died instead of raiding wal mart for food and other items of survival.....?????
usdn rep said:Ok.....argument........finally.......
First of all, I was sayin maybe on the navy ship possibly you might be able to drink under age......Thats one of the only military type bases tht I"ve never been to, but everywhere else, YOU CANNOT DRINK UNDER 21....It's against UCMJ................The correlation to that is breaking a law does have an effect on smoebody......Almost everything in life is a choice and somebody is gonna catch the good side of it and the bad side of it...............If the soldier didnt voluntarily go into the army.........Then we would have a draft.......which would lead to more problems.........Breakin a law does not mean you lack morality..............You are still in the military, VOLUNTEERING and others dont HAVE TO enlist.......You have some morals, you can possibly die for what ever reason your join.........But because you break a man made law, you lack morality, in your eyes is my point..........
usdn rep said:Cubase, which is Steinberg affiliated, is obviously a musical conglomerate, you and I both know that..........You can talk about this corporation, that corportaion, but we are talkin about music companies...............That create an oppurtunity for crime in the first place.......You dont have to steal because the oppurtunity is there, but you dont excuse the identity that creates the crime oppurtunity.........These corporations can higher people, but they are in business.......PERIOD.........Stealin doesnt keep jobs away, budgeting accountants and cheap money hearted executives do........
usdn rep said:I didnt say everybody should steal cubase, its obvious that if everybody stole it, they would be outta business..........I buy 95% of my shit cause I'm in a position to...........I'm just offering another side to all of you who say someone who steals lacks morality.......Truth is there are prolly more people willin to pay for it, but it will get bootlegged, it's 2006 damn near, you know......
usdn rep said:As far as me being a muscian......I EXPECT PEOPLE TO STEAL/DUPE/BURN my shit...............I honestly wouldnt be mad........No artist ever has not been burned, so why would that make you any different..........
usdn rep said:I dont see how people equate stealin music programs as a lack of morality.................Stealin is......... LAW......So I guess the victims of Hurricane Katrina should've died instead of raiding wal mart for food and other items of survival.....????? They lack morality.......???? Your morals would allow you to die over man made laws?????????? To me I just think some of you people just havent been there and passin judgement on folks cause you are in a situation to follow a MAN MADE LAW, so you feel like you have more morals then the next person...........Which is stupid........
Blue Bear Sound said:Again - you being a clueless fuckwit shows-through loud 'n clear....
Since when are the radios, TVs, and sports equipment that people were looting ever considered "items of survival", moron?
What an arse..........![]()
Bass Master "K" said:You don't seem to be able to differentiate between laws based on morality and laws based on public safety. Thirty years ago, almost all states had a drinking age of 18. So would you say thirty years ago then it would NOT have been okay to steal? The problem was, that 18 to 21 year olds were not making wise decisions when consuming alcohol, and so we made laws to help protect 18 to 21 year olds, and the people who could be hurt by their actions. There is no real morality there, just safety. Same with my jaywalking arguement. A jaywalker isn't immoral, he is not being safe. There is a big difference between being unsafe and being immoral and I am suprised that you do not understand the difference.
Steinberg started out (if memory serves me correct) as a two man operation. As people BOUGHT the program, they were able to employ more people and improve their product. As it improved, it became more popular and they were able to grow to what they are now...a business that employs about 100 people. Not some 'huge and evil' corporation...they employ a handful of people and enable them to make a living doing what they like to do. Now you are saying that Steinberg is responsible because they have created something people want, and that has "created a crime opportunity". This is the most irresponsible and unbelivable thing you have said so far. If what you say is true, then every single company, every single corporation, every single PERSON who creates a product is encouraging stealing. WFT? You believe that? A farmer who grows carrots is encouraging stealing? Pampers is encouraging people to steal diapers? A musician is encouraging people to steal because he creates music? That is the most fucked up arguement ever. They create things for people to want to BUY. That is capitalism man. I don't see how you don't get that. When someone creates something I want, I see it as an opportunity to buy something I want and support people who make cool things. You see it as creating an opportunity to steal it. Amazing how you look on life....people who create items and products are actually creating and encouraging thieves. So I guess no one should make anything anymore and that would solve the problem. Nice logic![]()
If everyone shouldn't steal it, then no one should steal it. To say otherwise is hypocritical. And yes, stealing is a MORAL crime which is why there is no culture or government archetype that allows it. It is a pretty universal moral law along with not murdering people.
This one I hear a lot and it is spoken by someone who clearly doesn't rely on music or software purchases to make his living. If you did you would have a different attitude. Then to say that since an every artist gets burned, that you would expect to get burned too isn't the point. Would you rather you were rewarded monetarily, as you should be, for your work so you can continue to make a living doing what you love? Or would you just say "oh hell, it's cool that they steal my stuff and I can't make a living at it anymore, I guess I'll just go back to the factory and make music when I can find time"? Stealing has an impact from individuals on up through big corporations, who start small and get big because they provide something valuable enough that people want it. There is no crime in success, yet you and many people seem to have that attitude and take it as open season to steal from them.
This is so stupid I really can't believe you took time to write it. You know what man...I saw the videos of the looting. I don't know of one single person who would chastise someone stealing FOOD during a national freaking emergancy if that is really what it came down to for survival. 99.9% of those dumbasses were taking tv's, vcr's, toys, camera's, clothes they didn't have to have for survival but could steal because there wasn't anyone there to stop them. That was an example of what your attitude on stealing becomes when the philosophy is spread on a large scale. Were you proud, watching those people steal not out of neccessity, but because they thought they would not get caught? Is that the picture of how you think everyone should act? Is that the example that we should hold up as the pinnacle of human perfection in behavior? If EVERYONE behaved in this way every day would we be a better place or a worse place? Think about that man, because it is a very important point. If EVERYONE did it, would it make things better or worse?
