you present us with this article defending what i also defend
in pc games which is not having any copy protection at all
but for that to happen we must all do our part and our part
is actively fight against piracy specially with titles that
don't have any copy protection like doom3 and quake 4

pc games like doom3 and quake 4 must be protected by us.
if pc games with no copy protection like doom3 and quake 4
are not protected by us don't expect other publishers to do
the same and release games the way doom3 and quake 4 was
released by id
this is obvious isn't it?
pc games with no copy protection must sell well or at least
not sell less only cause they don't have copy protection
this is essential, truly essential
doom3 and quake 4 cannot sell less only cause they don't have
copy protection so it is easy to pirate
if titles like doom3 and quake4 are penalized by not having
copy protection then no other publishers will do the same and
no copy protection will no longer be used in pc games

so if you agree with the article for the new york times you
must do your part and defend pc games with no copy protection
like doom3 and quake4

but why am i writing all this to you?
cause you just wrote in this group that all your friends none
bought doom3
i was truly shocked when i read it
really shocked
you are someone with money and for sure from the upper class
and in a wealthy rich country one of the most developed in the
world and obviously you will have friends with the same status
and all of them are pirates?
truly shocking

now it is obvious you cannot control your friends but you can
at least talk to them
so you witness a large number of people not strangers cause
they are close to you pirating a pc game and making it even
worse pirating a pc game with no copy protection and you did
not say anything?
did you even complain about it or say it was wrong?

knowing and witnessing all your friend pirating doom3 and you
being someone that defends no copy protection in pc games so
didn't you tell them that was wrong? that was damaging?
don't you feel anyone pirating pc games is also damaging you?
so just cause they are your friends you let them damage you and
not say anything?
friends are not like that
friends don't damage each other
friends say things to one another
are you afraid to lose a friendship only cause you will tell
them the truth? the truth about piracy being wrong about not
paying to play a pc game being wrong? about them pirating a
pc game like doom3 is damaging you personally?
you are so vocal in this group so why are you not that vocal
also with your friends?
aren't you like this in real life, vocal like you are here?

if a friend doesn't accept this fair and honest criticism it
is cause he is not your friend
so do us all a favour, go back to all your friends and tell
them all directly that piracy is wrong and they are not only
damaging the honest people that made doom3 but also damaging
you and all pc gamers around the world

the future of pc games relies in titles with no copy protection
like doom3 and quake 4 but if those titles are not big sellers
cause of not having copy protection then i don't see any future
in pc games

again cause it is never too much to say it
protect pc games with no copy protection like doom3 and quake4
from piracy
be a true hero and don't let pirates hurt doom3 and quake 4
fight so everyone pays to play pc games with no copy protection
like doom3 and quake 4
long live pc games with no copy protection!
