chosen2k wroteYeah but in Europe and the US, the state pays a part, if not all your tuition + housing needs.
The government helps, not like in here the gov is only helping itself in a greedy way.
Anyways, why are you judging ? Smoking cigarettes? People are free to smoke or not to.
It is as relevant as saying "Become a vegetarian, that way you can afford your original OS".
Wtf is that?
Anyways same thing with Piracy, Once again i tell you, and understand that the problem is not the end user, the problem is the provider.
And this we can apply it to anything you want. Go buy a pc, from 80% of the shops ur OS is a copy.
Bro we can also apply it to clothes, chinese copies branded here in Lebanon as whatever u want. You want chinese Lacoste? It's happening to food bro (corrupt seeds coming from egypt, corrupt meat)
Rebrand and sell. Copy and sell. Yallaaaa
So Please, for the love of [name your deity here] we don't want corrupt internet.
Provide a good internet and a private Ip, and make those who break the rules bear their responsibilities.
Same thing if they smoke... it's their problem in the end.
Bear in mind that a lot of shared information on the net is not necessarily copyrighted work.
Ask the Steam users around here, some of the games are 9GB, how are they supposed to download that after paying if their quota is 1.5 gb? How many days are they supposed to leave their connection on to be able to download ?
Stop overgeneralizing bro, not all of us are pirates, not all of us are heavy users.
We want good connections without the need to login every now and then to check how much bandwidth we used.
And Believe me if this happens the Lebanese brains will provide you with Idfa3lisadi2ak.com and screw paypal.
No man, you got me wrong on the cigarette point, this is an old post of mine that will explain what I mean:

As MegaCool said, piracy should NOT be an obstacle or an excuse to the government, Ogero or ISPs to limit the service, give us a shitty connection or steal us!
But at some point we should change the WAY we deal with copyrighted materials...I don't you if u r getting my point, please read again:
XhacK wroteLet me explain my idea, if you want to play a game, watch a movie or use a software...what is the first thing you are going to do? ....download a cracked copy OR go buy a cracked copy from a local shop!
You will NOT even think of buying it! I can assure you. and this is the problem I guess.
