piracy

Read a random definition: obliterate

A quick definition of piracy:

Definition: Piracy is when someone does something illegal on the high seas, like stealing or hurting people on a ship or plane. It can also mean when someone copies a book or movie without permission from the person who made it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Piracy refers to two different types of illegal activities:

  1. Crimes on the high seas: This includes violent and destructive activities such as robbery, kidnapping, and murder committed by the crew or passengers of a private ship or aircraft against another ship or aircraft. This type of piracy is punishable under international law or the laws of the country where the pirate is captured. For example, in 1820, an Irishman was convicted of piracy in the United States for murdering an English subject aboard an American shipping vessel.
  2. Intellectual property infringement: This refers to the unauthorized use or reproduction of someone else's creative work, such as a book, movie, or music. For example, downloading a movie from a torrent website without paying for it is considered piracy.

The examples illustrate how piracy can take different forms and can have serious consequences. In the first example, the pirate committed a violent crime and was punished accordingly. In the second example, the pirate infringed on someone else's intellectual property rights, which can result in legal action and financial penalties.

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
