  Writing those sentences on a web page would have probably taken like
one minute. Creating that video probably took at least a half hour or
more. What's the point?

  The comments really show the state of morality of people: Wow! This is
absolutely great! I can play all these games without having to pay money!

  The attitude seems that having to actually pay for games is just an
obstacle those stupid big bad companies have put to annoy us, and if you
can overcome this obstacle without actually paying any money, you have
beaten the system.

  The attitude is like softare is a natural resource which pours freely
from a fountain, and these big bad companies have tapped into this fountain
and unfairly demanding people to pay for its contents, denying free access
to it. Any means to circumvent these demands and get the natural resource
for free is not only completely acceptable, but in fact a cool thing to do,
as it hits back at those big bad companies trying to steal us from what's
rightfully ours.

  Of course these people know the reality: They are getting the software
not at the expense of the company, but at the expense of other honest,
paying customers, those which keep the company running with their money.
In other words, they are using the products created with the money other
people have spent, without spending anything themselves. However, even
though they know this, they couldn't care less. Those who keep the company
alive by paying them money are fools and stupid, haha! They deserve to lose
their money for being so foolish.

  Software pirate mentality is one of the worst things that really grinds
my gears. People who pirate software and have this kind of attitude are
the worst moral scum on earth.
