Razor1911 release vs. Reloaded release
geekily:
I downloaded the Reloaded version when it first came out and wasn't impressed enough to keep playing, but now that all this content from the store is coming out and I'm seeing everyone's pretty legacies and stuff, I want to try again. Can I just stick with the Reloaded version, or should I upgrade to the Razor1911 version for the sake of installing the store stuff, etc?

Pirate cat doesn't pay for bandwidth, right?
Actually, I was going to actually shell it out for an internet connection, but then discovered that it was actually not that hard to find free wireless in coffee shops and at the University and so forth. The fact that my neighbors had unencrypted wireless at the time I was downloaded TS3 was something of an accident (my neighbors actually change every few months or so - some of them are more tech-savvy than others).
So in Rufio-world, there is no ethical problem with stealing bandwidth from your neighbours, but there is with scanning a book?
That seems like a backwards, non-standard view of the issue. I'd have less problems with scanning a book (i.e. stealing profits from a faceless publishing house) than I would with stealing from the people who are my neighbours (even though I can't stand most of them).

Re: bandwidth stealing.
I see a practical issue more important than the moral one. Unless in USistan things are going totally different than here, whatever is done from a certain IP/connection/LAN legally refers to the registered owner of that IP (according to the ISP registry).
If I do something illegal using someone else's IP, they will not incriminate me, but them. I know the laws pertaining this issue are being discussed right now, but still it doesn't seem to me a good thing to do.

Actually, I am not ethically opposed to either - if someone is going to leave their wireless unencrypted, they have to know that people are going to use it. Also, I don't normally do things that use up much bandwidth.
The issue with scanning the book was that I was respecting rules my father had made about the use of his equipment, out of politeness for him. I realize this is a foreign concept to most of you.

Well, logically, if the store stuff got you interested again (among other things), you'd want the version that can use the store stuff, yes?
