To me, and I think most people in this forum, that is piracy. That is distributing content that he doesn't have the right to distribute.

When you say shit like that to people who make and sell content for a living they tend to get a little pissed off.
I've always noticed that Gideon doesn't have one single clue about what Fair USe actually is, nor has he ever made the effort to look it up -- but does anyone have the right to fuck with his private life?
