I left my laptop at my friends for 2 days and I missed so many pages >_> I won't bother scanning through and commenting, I can't really be arsed (I was going to, but realised it would take me too long).
I will say this though, probably a really old conversation now but still, I'm sorta-pro-piracy. I do pirate some things, but it's mainly TV shows, that if I didn't pirate/stream I'd have to wait 2 years to see over here in the UK or on DVD, and that's just silly :P Music I don't pirate, I use Spotify and all the music on my iPod is bought/copied from friends (I know that's not legal but I don't care) and films I rarely pirate and that's usually to decide whether it's worth getting on DVD/to see at the cinema (I love going to the cinema and I have a very good DVD/blu-ray collection). Games I don't pirate, I have a PS3 and my laptop can't play games really.. though the few games I do have (TF2, CS:S.. few others) I bought. I think piracy is given such a bad rep when really it opens up markets. I'd never go and see/purchase some films if I hadn't watched them beforehand, for example No Country For Old Men I downloaded and then went to see at the cinema + bought on blu-ray.. so I guess I'm the good sort of pirate :P I can't afford to buy tonnes of music (not really a problem thanks to Spotify) or buy loads of DVDs, but I buy what I can and what deserves to be bought :)

And i figured to further emphasize my service to you beloved community members id strip away powers i rarely used anyway. I feel better about it already.
O RLY? Welcome back to the ranks, big dog.
