Double click.

[Cthulhu]

The only hard part is getting the ISO file that you will almost always be downloading to work.

You know, things like music should only be shared among immediate family members.  I mean, they are likely to hear each other's music anyway, and if one of them payed for it, it should be alright.

File sharing with total strangers, though . . . that's just stupid.  You aren't making any money and you don't owe those downloading the stuff anything.

Double click.

I downloaded another world (it's shareware now, so I don't know why I really did it) It proclaimed it to be 10 mgs but I downloaded it instantly and it does nothing when I click on it. This is the case for every torrent I've ever downloaded.

[Sowelu]

You need a program to use the torrents.  Think of a .torrent file as a slip of paper with an address written on it; you give that to your torrent program, and it goes there to grab the stuff.

Alternately, you can think of them as kind of like a .zip program that doesn't contain the actual files, just tells you where to get them, that's a little more accurate.

[Jackrabbit]

Ah, that seems a bit strange, but I can do that. Not that I will...

Piratebay.org really had it coming the way they publicly taunted any effort to sue them and how they lauded their own piracy and invincibility.

Yeah, this is true...

So if I change my name to "The Rapist" then walk up to a policeman and say "Haha you can't arrest me because I haven't committed rape!" I deserve to be arrested and imprisoned for rape?

Your metaphor sucks, I fixed it for you.

[Rilder]

Pirate bay is like a taxi-company named "Rapist-Taxi" picking up rapists and giving them rides.

[JoshuaFH]

These are the worst analogies ever.

[Muz]

It's like if you have a shop that sells drugs and call it "The Drug Store". But rather than selling medicine, you sell cocaine. Over the counter. And people everywhere tell you to go there. And if a policeman comes, they say, "Hey, if people were telling me this white stuff I was selling was illegal, I'd have destroyed it!"

Lol, why do you guys care so much? It's not like the Pirate Bay was known for sharing any non-pirated files you can't get elsewhere?

[umiman]

It's like the Rape Awareness Centre where they raise awareness for the benefits of rape.

[Puck]

Lemme try a bad analogy...

suing piratebay is a bit like suing the phone company, for printing a phonebook.
You know, in that phonebook, there are a lot of names and adresses of criminals. A bit like ... trackers...

HAWTDAMN! must... race... for.... stella... award....

[Yanlin]

Good job Puck. That is such a horrible analogy, I don't even have the will to post what's wrong about it.

Let me have a crack at it. Pun intended.

Suing pirate bay is like suing a... Damnit! I cannot beat you Puck!
