Threatening messages aimed to prevent digital piracy have the opposite effect if you're a man, a new study from the University of Portsmouth has found. According to the research, women tend to respond positively to this kind of messaging, but men typically increase their piracy behaviors by 18%.

    Like I said, you’re welcome to talk about it being an invalid comparison, but the advert did not state you wouldn’t download a car.

        Well, maybe you didn’t. My CD case that someone stole out of my parent’s convertible would like to disagree.

        Funny enough, most of those discs were burned with content of dubious legality.
