my point is not to justify piracy,it is that there should be some consistency.
the artist who does not spin records,but instead steals loops and ques with software should be just as guilty.
the same can be said for movies and games.b movies with near identical titles,there is a syfy channel movie called battle for los angeles that is far worse than the one in theaters now.
every mmo now is using features,dynamics, and security created by or based off of origin systems.so in terms of theft,piracy of a mmo is stealing more from old player base than any company.because most early scripts were created by volunteers.the same can be said for air warrior,gemstone,dragons gate,eq,nexus.the client restriction,balance issues and most every problem we faced with uo for fixed for free by someone else. then another company comes along and steals the exact method of sending/receiving,economy(closed/fixed),and so forth. so when it comes to taking from others without paying,there is far more quilt with the very people who point the finger.we should at least have some consistency when it comes to how we are going to deal with it.
