Bill Gates admits to Internet video piracy

It doesn't count if it is me

MICROSOFT'S abdicating ruler, Sir William Gates III, has admitted to a nefarious underworld life of watching pirated videos.
In a long interview with the Wall Street Journal, Gates admitted to like watching pirated movies on YouTube.

The interview went thus:
Hack: You watch physics lectures and Harlem Globetrotters [on YouTube]?

Gates: This social-networking thing takes you to crazy places.

Hack: But those were stolen, correct?

Gates: Stolen's a strong word. It's copyrighted content that the owner wasn't paid for. So yes.

Opps. So if you get caught with a copy of a pirated version of Windows XP, Bill seems to be suggesting that 'stolen' would be a strong word for what you have.

Either that, or Bill considers the software and movie industry's stance on pirated material is a bit harsh when it is applied to an individual. µ

So.... he watches pirate videos... but we have to install WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage aka SPYWARE) to download updates.... hmm... just so MS can see if we're pirating windows or not... and let's not forget the RIAA sueing ppl in the US left front and centre, from Grannys who don't even own computers to 4 yr old who can't use the internet properly.. yeah this world is SO blind eyed... bleh

Ohhh well then using that logic, i can say that i didnt steal Microsoft® Windows XP® then lol. But seriously....as a man so personally against piracy (as he should be given the nature of his business) should not take part in any piracy of any kind. Do so really and truly eh like so.

Please no matter who you are and how much money yuh have with an internet full ah free ting, yuh go always choose to pay for it. I coulda bet dat when he miss smallville and he forget to TIVO it he and MPAA members runnin on d internet with they T3 connection and sucking up all d bandwidth downloading it (lol). 

And if he en feel like being seen in public, meh boys go just download a pirated copy of X-Men theyself and watch it. But lord forbid I cyar afford $1400 for a copy ah he operating system and he vex, well apparantly dat is how life is. So why d RIAA and MPAA doh go behind he as he ADMIT to piracy. Because they all stupid, All ah dam and greedy!!!

Whey boy ah sounding like anil roberts.

Nah boy forget all dat i en vex with him, it shows him as a real person and WGA is just ah way of protecting his investment. So to BIll Gates, for watching pirated content online 2 thumbs up for WGA 2 thumbs and 2 big toes down
