Re: Piracy is Killing
@Ariella. Yes! That’s exactly the point I hoped to convey. At the end of the day it’s still stealing but people have a remarkable capacity to rationalize their behavior to make it acceptable. It’s a faceless kind of crime. That makes it all the easier.

Re: Piracy is Killing
@vnewman An interesting point of contrast. An individual shoplifter who takes something small causes less loss overall than a pirate. But the individual who just watches a pirated movie probably does not feel like someone stealing a DVD from a store.

Re: Piracy is Killing
@vnewman yes you are right as in some cases people did not see it as piracy - even if it clear piracy...

Re: Piracy is Killing
@JohnBarnes. I also see this as a bit of human nature to “beat the system.” It’s a very passive kind of crime so all the more difficult to polic (as opposed to, say, shoplifting merchandise out of a store).

Re: Watching the defectives
@batye really? Back when I was writing about bitcoin for CoinDesk, I learned that huge amounts of computing power are needed for mining bitcoin. That's why people formed teams to achieve the amount needed. You'd have to have quite a system going to hijack multiple PCs and direct them for mining. See https://www.bitcoinmining.com/getting-started/

To begin mining bitcoins, you'll need to acquire bitcoin mining hardware. In the early days of bitcoin, it was possible to mine with your computer CPU or high speed video processor card. Today that's no longer possible. Custom Bitcoin ASIC chips offer performance up to 100x the capability of older systems have come to dominate the Bitcoin mining industry.

Bitcoin mining with anything less will consume more in electricity than you are likely to earn. It's essential to mine bitcoins with the best bitcoin mining hardware built specifically for that purpose.
