MediaFire CEO: We Don't Depend On Piracy

Posted by Soulskill on from the everyone's-entitled-to-an-opinion dept.

New submitter libertyernie writes "Although FileSonic has disabled sharing and Uploaded.to has blocked access to the U.S., the CEO of Texas-based MediaFire is not concerned about government action against his company. 'We don't have a business built on copyright infringement,' says Derek Labian. 'Like many other cloud-based sharing services like Box.net and Dropbox, we're a legitimate business targeting professionals.'"

    What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    Alarms always go off when someone tells me that.

    Similarly, different kinds of alarms that go off when some one says, "I'm not a slut."

    "I am just a businessman, giving the people what they want,"
    "All I do is satisfy a public demand."

    Both are quotes from Al Capone

    Sluts also satisfy a public demand, but without a Venn diagram I do not know if Al Capone was a slut or not.
