And it's why I think he deserves a little shrine for the common folk to pray at.
Seriously tho, he's closest to my own views on the subject. The more I think about "piracy" or someone stealing a game I created, etc, if they're a player and it's not for profit, I'm likely not to care. The only things that put a chill down my spine or make me aprehensive is someone else trying to make a profit off of my work. In short, I don't care who plays, but if anyone is to profit off of it, it should be me.
Meaning bootleggers of various sorts are the type that get me pissy far far far more than anything john doe will be able to do by playing it for themselves. (This includes people who try to get around the spirit of the rule by freely offering copies - but charging for the "labour" and postage. I wouldn't care if it was a person doing it for a friend mind you. I mean someone who's doing it for anyone who sends them an email and a 10 dollar paypal "donation".)
