Seems I'm one of the few who actually liked the Ewoks..
Jar Jar did him in - the original trilogy was only mildly original at best, the wow factor was the effects. There was no such wow in the new trilogy, ergo there was never even a shark to jump - it just failed before it got started.
No Ep 3 didn't redeem anyone, if anything it cemented Lucas' reputation as a positively gruelingly awful writer.
"As an alternative distribution method (at least for audio and video), he suggests Google video."
This is the most amazingly stupid statement I've seen on/. for quite some time - which honestly says a lot.
So I'll look for my debian images etc on youtube... yessir.
Other than that, who is freeloading? As a consumer I pay for my bandwidth, I can do with it what I want. If I want to use P2P that is MY CHOICE, and this fucktard shouldn't be worrying about it. If he wants faster intarweb, pay more. Dumbass.

"In light of past and present research revealing the electrical nature of the universe, this kind of crippling ignorance among professional astrophysicists is astonishing"
Then explain it to them, smart guy.
Seriously, being surprised that we don't know everything is the astonishing part - although it could be expected after a century of "omg we have progressed so much, and every generation before us were utterly primitive" attitudes.

How about the OP just doesn't add the people he doesn't want to be associated with on a private level?

The second my government says personal copies are not fair use, then I'll take notice. Until then Sony can say anything they want.
"Hey NBC: I have chosen not to have cable, but want to pay you for Heroes. Guess what my only alternative will be if you pull it from iTunes?"
Getting cable.
I'm broke, and I have CHOSEN to not get a job, so my only alternative is to steal? Rubbish.
