Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Ummm... not exactly, they sell shit and then take that shit away from you when they see fit. If that's not illegal, then me circumventing their DRM for my own personal use most definitely isn't.

    Plus, it really is legal to do RCE for your own personal use. It's illegal to share that info.

    I think you are mixing up illegal with unethical. I strongly disagree that any level of DRM warrants piracy. If you don't like a company having power over you its time to seek alternatives.

    And piracy is so bad because... It's illegal?

    This where you and I differ. I can cross that threshold if I'm motivated enough (have done it before). I'd do it just for the f u's if nothing else. And share it as an ultimate f u.
