Piracy
I don't see a moral issue with using a crack for offline play, assuming you have payed for the game.

History - Favourite Time Periods
The Edda are songs and poems going back a long time before anyone had bothered to write them down. Best source on Norse mythology as well.

Piracy
If people didn't pirate windows they would have to give a version away for free. Students and assorted poor personages would use linux out of necessity and eat away at the PC OS monopoly microsoft has enjoyed for so long. It would be nothing short of disasterous long term. There is a similar synergetic effect with software. People who have learned the ropes with a cracked version tend to stick with it when they eventually end up buying. Assuming they don't get too used to not paying. If used in a professional capacity one would want to have one's affairs in order anyway, and it's a deductable.

Piracy
I'm reminded of The People vs. George Lucas. Is there such a thing as imminent public domain. Something that for the good of the planet should belong to everyone, regardless of who holds the copyright. I liked the idea of trying to obtain a court order for the original Star Wars wheels anyway.

how do you backup your ipod music?
Premiums go up with every claim.

Piracy
TPB has never once in its history attempted to remove copyrighted content. half hearted attempts were made by both Mininova and ISOhunt and others concerned with their long term survival. People go there to get illegal ****, and maybe they check out whatever band is being promoted as well. Lets call a spade a spade people.

It's not half as fun playing barbie dressup with Ken.

A loaner Ipad, sounds like more trouble than it's worth. You pay double if it's an apple, apparenlty that goes for the repairs as well.

Mass Effect 3
There's too many similarities between Mass Effect and Babylon 5 for it to be a coincidence. Just like how there are too many similarities between Dragon Age and Warhammer for that to be a coincidence. And yet, I seem to have missed them all. (which isn't to say that most things in DA have been lifted from somewhere else - but WH? WTH?) Aspects of it (the warp fade and the Templars of Sigmar seeking out unsanctioned mages, practicing outside the Colleges of Magic Circles) because the untrained mind may attract the attention of warp fade entities, but my first thought when watching the cutscenes was Peter Jackson As you said, a mix of some old, some borrowed and some new bits here and there. Warhammer is pretty clearly tracable to Michael Moorc.o.ck.anyway. Chaos lords, the 8 arrow logo, corruption. Everybody steals from everybody esle.

Mass Effect 3
That's pretty standard for a series about contact with various alien races. There would be imperialism, a VOC company, a senate and a council, xenophobia and racism, sattelite wars. culture wars, technology exchange, psionics. How could you NOT have all those things. You could do without the reapers since it's just a very tired shtick.

Desert city intrigue not doing it for me. The councillors, or whatever, are uninteresting idiots.

Guild Wars 2
I take it you can't import your pimped out GW 1 character. I've got one that's been dormant for what 5 years. I don't want to be vl1 or do any bloody tutorials.

Regional pricing is a bloody hoax, and that's the whole reason these services exist.
