[Gumbo]

Yours looks like a central heating control Tom.

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

It's an iPod and Tom, don't directly link to someone elses images if you don't pay the bandwidth bill, it's a REALLY shitty thing to do.

 

[Tom]

Like I give a fuck

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

I hope you take that attitude when someone steals from you, idiot.

 

[SilverHood]

it's taken from apples sales site, no?

might generate them extra income

if it's on the net, it's there to be seen

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

You are so wrong it's painful.

If you don't pay the bandwidth cost putting a directly linked picture into a post results in nothing but expense for someone else, you are stealing, there's no justification for it whatsoever.

 

[SilverHood]

hmmm, somehow I don't think Apple pay depending on how much bandwitdh they use... I'd imagine they'd have some form of flat fee arangement... I know I would if I was running a site/busineess like that.

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

You're still trying to justify stealing, YOU DON'T PAY FOR IT, IT'S NOT YOURS.

Using your viewpoint Barrysworld shouldn't have the right to charge for servers, they pay a flat rate bandwidth bill, so they should be open to anyone to use...

Also, stop using rolls eye smileys, they aren't a substitution for a defensible position you flid.

 

[SilverHood]

take that avartar in your picture... you're not paying for the bandwitdh everytime I watch one of your posts!

THIEF

sheesh... whats your gripe with bandwith "thieves" anyway? Someone hammered your site and you had to pay big time?

(just for you)

(edit, spelling, *sigh*)

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

The avatar in my picture is part of a service offered by BW, it is present with their permission, if they didn't host it for me, I'd host it on my bandwidth, exactly the same as every other picture I post.

What's your justification for stealing, please explain why it's acceptable in your world to steal something from someone else? I appreciate you're a stupid child, but at some point surely you have to grow up and start taking responsability?

There's also something amusing about someone editing for spelling and still having mistakes, gg next map!

 

[Gef]

I pay my taxes dammit i'll steal if I want to!

 

[Will]

This may sound a little flippant, but who took the jam out of your doughnut?

Yeah, its stealing. I don't think Apple will mind, since it may encourage someone to buy one. Then again, RIAA shouldn't mind us sampling CDs if we are going to buy them, yet they seem to object.

Funny old world, isn't it?

 

[sonicyouth]

nice one, turn a normal thread into a stupid argument about bandwidth and hosting!

Anyway, gadgets are overrated, maaaaan.

 

[SilverHood]

gah, not even gonna bother.. pm me if you want to continue the flame fest.... or not

It's all part of the rampant stupidity that means reading this forum is like wandering through a sewer, and what's worse is semi sensible people like yourself defending the idiots.

 

[Uncle Sick(tm)]

You should really start to take some medication, Scooba...

Apple bankrupt by bandwidth theft!!1

[Rubber Bullets]

Surely all content on the internet is put there to be looked at. Some will be put there for only a limited number of people and some is put there in the hope that as many people as possible see it.

I can't help that in this case Apple would look at Toms post and be pleased that he has said favourable things about their product and even given a link for those who want to know more, possibly even buy one.

The picture itself is only 4Kb and so it doesn't represent a huge bandwidth hit, wouldn't just clicking the link mean that the whole page is downloaded, a much greater drain on the Apple website.

Oh and why single out Tom for this tirade? Surely leggy is also stealing the image of the artificial finger and thumb, he didn't even see fit to provide a link for those people who may want to purchase said item

I assuming that, since you just turned into a Guest account, you are about to be baned as we speak.

And I'm not defending, I'm pointing out that this world has things worth starting an arguement over, and things that aren't...guess which one I think this is?

Accounts that turn into 'Guest' are deleted. The mods don't delete accounts, so I'm guessing he's finally got fed up of moaning at how terribly ignorant we all are and deleted his forum account.

Uh oh, calling one of the wise old men of these forums 'semi-sensible' the stress was obviously getting to him.

Honestly though, being that much better than everyone around you can be extremely difficult, we should be grateful that he persevered with us for so long.
