    When $14,000,000 is pocket change to you. That is how overpaid these CEO's are.

    They are not normal, they have zero clue as to what the other 98% of the people on the planet live like.

    Is downloading a TV Show that was aired an hour before on public airwaves Piracy?

    your argument is easy to poke holes in. Mine is far more solid as even the copyright lovers cant justify it.

    You gave it away for free on public airwaves. you have no right to whine if someone recorded it and shared it with everyone that could have watched it for free.

    sorry, you did not read the bill. It has a special section that exempts rich people and corporations that fund reelection campaigns.

    If you make less than $250,000.00 a year you are one of the dirty disgusting thieves that needs a good water-boarding at gitmo to teach you your place. Everyone else is the holy ones that only make innocent mistakes.

    Ebay will never be shut down even if they start trafficking stolen organs. They have enough money to pay the police to look the other way.

    What loser thief uses a "hack saw" for that? bolt cutters will go through a steering wheel in less than a second. that kind of speed is important for a car thief. Sawing for 10 minutes is not something anything but a crackhead would do.

    Yes; windows XP SP2 or higher, windows Vista, and Windows 7. All three have a firewall that is more than most users need.

    IF you really need a "little snitch" type of app for windows, you need advanced software. 99% of all users do not need this kind of "firewall" and would be better off with the built in windows one.

    Only because the Actors are overpaid, and honestly a lot of money is utterly wasted on useless management fees.

    You can make a high quality TV show for far FAR less if the actors were not greedy (Give them a living wage not a disgusting high wage) and the production company and everyone else except for the Grips and electricians were not trying to milk a money tree.

    Go look for and download Pioneer ONE. it's an indy TV pilot that is getting a ton of cash from viewers by donation only to film with. They already have enough to finish season 1.

    Honestly, 90% of the crud on TV can be shot for less than $10,000 an episode. You do NOT need to shoot on film. Shoot on video. That will cost the production costs by 1/4 right there as you dont have to overpay a DP that is a Film Snob that gets a premium union rate.
