Wait! Those torrent clients are written with programming languages! We should sue the people who made the programming languages for encouraging piracy!

And pirates are using hardware to commit their dirty deeds!

Maybe this is how technological society crumbles, one lawsuit at a time.

That's funny that you mention hardware, cause in Germany you pay a set fee for each device (13.19€ for a computer, 6.25€ for a phone) on purchase since it could be used to create copies of media.

I'm just getting my money's worth, officer.

Which fee are you referring to? Never heard of that
