- parent, on 03/30/2008, -20/+692***** THE RIAA (thumbs up please, first time saying it)
- Vazelos, on 03/30/2008, -8/+544Piracy funding terrorism: Show me proof
US Gov. funding terrorists in the past: Fact!
***** the RIAA - ksong12, on 03/30/2008, -3/+370I see. So us downloading "Bit Torrents" for FREE gave them money to blow up the towers. I see.
- TheRealDj, on 03/30/2008, -2/+314I always suspected that cracked copies of Photoshop were responsible for destroying the WTC. Never again!

- HappyScrappy, on 03/30/2008, -0/+199Wow, makes me look back fondly on the days when pirates were merely downloading Communism.
- CatalunyaBob, on 03/30/2008, -3/+146I'm glad our Attorney General's office is looking in all the right places. Makes me sleep better at night.

- rudy23, on 03/30/2008, -6/+118doesnt matter who says it or even if its in context. thumbs up follow.
- mchugh22, on 03/30/2008, -12/+109Title is misleading. Torrents generate little or no money. What generates money is people on the street corner selling DVD's. However I doubt that this money goes to terrorism. If the U.S. wants terrorism to stop they should stop funding Israel.
- wontstoptalking, on 03/30/2008, -8/+90Wow. Adobe and Apple, the two most pirated companies there are.
- Cam_86, on 03/30/2008, -1/+76I hope one day you realize what a moron you are... Terrorism in the late 90's and 00's is to what communism was in the cold war. Politicians are using it to scape goat other issues.

- maninblac1, on 03/30/2008, -3/+63I'm just wondering how stealing something for free is funding terrorism.
Let's get something straight, American's don't "buy" pirated material. They just, take it.
Raise your hand if you bought an illegal copy of XP, ok i see no takers.
How about that copy of Photoshop, no one there either i see.
Oh i know, how about that chinese iPhone knockoff, hmmmm i didn't think so.
It goes to show how this world has started to speak before it thinks. - inactive, on 03/30/2008, -10/+66Whoever believes that piracy contributes to terrorism is an idiot.
Like someone above said, it's the new communism, the new enemy used to scare the sheep into submission. - maninblac1, on 03/30/2008, -6/+61Step 1. Steal things and don't give anyone any money for it. (Piracy)
Step 2. ...
Step 3. Profit.....and Terrorism. - Masticity, on 03/30/2008, -0/+52I thought the Hamburgler caused 9/11...
- inactive, on 03/30/2008, -2/+50Guys! Let's photoshop some Jihadist statements, and then streaming on our iPods!
- LarryLacuna, on 03/30/2008, -9/+55It's directly from the article, if you took like time to read the first sentence you would know that.
- AndrewDB, on 03/30/2008, -12/+56Thank you for not doing the ascii thing.
- DeskFlyer, on 03/30/2008, -1/+43http://i1.tinypic.com/71qcnpj.jpg
- ArrakisDune, on 03/30/2008, -2/+42Yeah, like listening to rock music means you worship Satan :rolleyes:
Not one shred of proof, just more ***** in attempt to feed the rich more.
How do these people get in power? - qber, on 03/30/2008, -1/+41Well, sure. You and I are smart enough to download bittorrents for free. But bootlegged DVDs are sold for money on the streets. And we ignore all that email spam offering pirated copies of Windows and Adobe Photoshop for a fraction of retail price, but people must be buying them because the spam just keeps coming. So someone somewhere has gotta be making money off pirating. Still, I think it's more likely that someone is some guy sitting in a basement with a bunch of DVD burners than a terrorist group though.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 03/30/2008, -1/+38Where do you even buy pirated software?
All this p2p stuff is free. - nsanidy, on 03/30/2008, -1/+38You've got to be ***** kidding me.
That is all I can come up with. - Dumbledorito, on 03/30/2008, -4/+39The ironic thing is that, while very good products, Photoshop and Flash wouldn't have become the juggernauts they are today if Kazaa-kiddies hadn't downloaded them and made the results so ubiquitous on the net.
- TheWorm, on 03/30/2008, -1/+33Why would Apple be more pirated than Microsoft?
- cr4wl3r, on 03/30/2008, -5/+37And Reddit even stole the website exactly as it appears on Digg.
Digg was released before reddit.
Get over it pussy. - Chordinator, on 03/30/2008, -2/+34We're not stealing, we're sharing. and SHARING is CARING!
- jstone, on 03/30/2008, -2/+32FAIL
- furntree, on 03/30/2008, -3/+311) Put free music online
2) ???
3) Profit!...oh and terrorism too - gbrmn, on 03/30/2008, -0/+26So, just where are these magical money making torrents? I need to make about 200 a week, please email asap!
- growler1, on 03/30/2008, -1/+26First it was drugs that were funding terrorism. I'm glad to see we solved that problem.
- dark1587, on 03/30/2008, -2/+27Actually it was all the cracked copies of AutoCAD that the terrists used to aim for the weak points of the buildings.
- SSUK, on 03/30/2008, -1/+24They omit MS because they're running on pirated XP Professional.
- RpgActioN, on 03/30/2008, -0/+22Problem with that: it's not really widespread domestically, and that's what U.S. law concerns - the U.S. On top of that, they're trying to cite just general piracy levels as if they were the same thing as people selling bootleg copies of ***** and then buying AK47s, when as one of these parent comments pointed out, no money is really flowing back and forth simply because Photoshop has a few hundred more seeds.
- Pillage, on 03/30/2008, -1/+22No, it must have been the flight simulator they torrented. That's right video games caused 9/11. Jack Thompson do I have a case for you.
- popularwinner, on 03/30/2008, -0/+21"what proof do you want idiot? The case is obvious."
Before you go around calling people idiots, take the the very brief moment of cognition required to find the flaw in how something FREE OF COST generates profit. - Hayaemsay, on 03/30/2008, -1/+22People digg it.
- acatzr800, on 03/30/2008, -0/+20No where in the article is torrenting mentioned. I think the idea here is that its more the Spider man 3 scalper on the streets of NYC who looks a little bit middle eastern or the guy who sells cracked copies of software on ebay gives the money to someone who gives it to someone who gives it to someone who has past relations with a guy who delivers medicine to a terror cell.
This reminds me of the- "don't be drugs, you're funding gun smuggling rings" push a few years ago. - sonstone, on 03/30/2008, -0/+20He's not being literal. He is talking about fear of terrorism as a tool to assert a political agenda in the same way communism was used.
- xartion, on 03/30/2008, -0/+20You might want to understand what the quote means before taking it.
- InspectorGadget, on 03/30/2008, -0/+20I wonder if anybody has ever explained to Mukasey that the vast majority of people pirating Photoshop generate no revenue at all.
- jeffsback2223, on 03/30/2008, -0/+19Thats what we're taught in pre-K. And when we try to share as adults, We're prosecuted.
- Dumbledorito, on 03/30/2008, -0/+19Hey. Mayor McCheese was asleep at the switch. He ALLOWED it to happen.
- Chordinator, on 03/30/2008, -0/+19And of course all the pirated versions of 3DS Max for the special effects shots of planes crashing into buildings...
oh wait, that actually happened. -
