I used to be like you, very legalistic and anti-pirate.  But then I realized I was making it a way bigger deal than it was.  Just leave people alone.

So basically your saying stealing, robbery, scamming, and bullying are being shown as way bigger deals than they are? We should just leave the thieves, robbers, scammers, and bullies alone?

I'm not preaching to him, I am just voicing my opinion about pirates. I will also say I have no respect to thieves, robbers, scammers, and bullies.

Valve only sells CSS on Steam. Seeing how Brothersoft gives it free, I highly doubt it's a legitimate copy.

Tell me what the difference is between those statements.

There is no difference.  My point is valid, don't pass judgement on people.

I think pirating is wrong.  Doesn't mean I'm going to rag on anyone I see downloading a P2P file.

Don't pirate games. You get no respect from me.

LOL that's awesome, anyways no...and we don't very much respect those who pirate material and advertise it...so I'd stay away from that.

And anyway it looks like they are in Beta testing.  And only in South Korea.

And in my opinion, if you don't like pirating, that's understandable, but don't spill your judgment on people.
