I think you should accept that by saying you think you might make your own home brew version of the game, you are going to be labelled as a pirate.
I won't deny, I considered it, but from the point I conceived this thread, through to post it up and, this very moment, I still haven't.. So I don't think I'm a pirate just yet. However, people who have made their own versions of this game, and advertised the fact within this thread haven't had anything thrown their way. Which just goes to show how selective some people are in taking the moral high ground.
I think the difference for me is that I don't mind being called a "pirate" if you define piracy as copying a game for one's personal use. With such a strict definition, the slur doesn't matter cause I still don't think I'm doing anything wrong.
I further acknowledge the moral murkiness of the matter so whatevers, if you think its wrong, that's cool...but making my own copies of games for my own personal still isn't gonna cost me sleep at night....but at least I do grant that they have a legitimate stance/position, even if I disagree with them.
