P2P Operators Plead Guilty
Bootsy Collins writes "In the first such criminal convictions in the U.S., two peer-to-peer hub operators have
pled guilty
to conspiracy to commit felony copyright infringement. The two men were subjects of raids last August after Department of Justice investigators downloaded content valued at US$25,000 retail from their servers, the Movie Room and Acheron's Alley. They face sentences of up to five years in prison, and up to US$250,000 in fines, in addition to the possibility of being forced to pay restitution to copyright holders.
Actually, no. I'm suggesting that you go fuck yourself, you self-important prick. But I'm not surprised that that fact went quite over your air-filled head...
Yeah? Well..... have you read the Constitution.... on weed?
Well very well, then. I suggest (further) that you have this poorly framed and badly presented argument with yourself - you seem to be doing quite well without me contibuting anything at all to it except perhaps the odd epithet. You can make up a positilon that you can imagine you opponent to have, then you can cleverly demolish that argument by raising counter arguments that your imaginary opponent will decline to answer because of your l33t pseudo-intellcetual assertions with respect to being able to read and and imply simple concept like "dogmatic fundamentalism" which you can fling at your imagary opponent like a monkey flings pooh.
I'm not interested in your gradeschool gibberish, your constructed oppposing fallacies, or your pitiful high school debating tactics; in short, you need to pigeonhole me so badly you're just pathetic. Quit embarassing yourself.
I was just flaming some dumbass who was obviously and completely misguided, and you thought I might be interested in your opinion of my views. I'm not. I know damn well I'm right, and you do too, you just can't let yourself admit it, for whatever reasons, and frankly, I don't care what those reasons are. They're just excuses that keep you from being right, and the sooner you recognize that the better off you'll be.
Call back when you grow up - or get a clue - whichever comes first.

There are times when one feels completely justified. Such as when they download Napoleon Dynamite for free over P2P in xvid and watch it. You realize just how pissed off you would have been if you'd been suckered into paying for the DVD or to see it in the theaters with your hard-earned money, because you were convinced that it was a great movie by all of the paid-for movie reviews that were published.
Seriously, I never felt so proud to have downloaded a movie rather than paying for it as when I saw that boring, poorly-acted, wooden, plotless, inane, stupid piece of crap movie.
