"Use occam's razor and go with the simplest explanation: People pirate because they want free shit and it's easier in some cases than going to the store."
Occam stopped cutting himself and bought an electrical shaver. A lot of people are getting something because its free, not because they want it. Just face it, most in games, music and tv is rubbish. It might just be worth to try once, but if the only choice was to pay for it, people wouldn't because it wouldn't be worth it.
Because copyright is amoral, nobody should keep getting paid over and over for something they made once. Society needs to be reformed away from this, and you may very well need to find another line of work.
With their weird login crap, just go to a page with a login! But noon, they have to use javascript rubbish to (try) and open a window, which may or may not work in your browser.
""There is currently no evidence from clinical trials in humans that injecting or consuming vitamin C is an effective way to treat cancer."
Except the news has also reported that it does work against cancer (in lab animal tests) - but not from eating it (or injecting it), you had to do something with it first.
So I chose the believe that (and no, I can't be bothered to see if its also online somewhere)
In the Scandinavian countries, TV and movies are in their original languages with subtitles, only programs for very small children (who can't read yet) are dubbed.
"Yes, one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century - a greater scientist than Freeman Dyson if one counts Nobel Prizes - and for years he kept banging on about Vitamin C as a cure for cancer. At one time, he even put his wife through the treatment. Vitamin C as a cure for cancer is baloney."
Not of course since, more and more tests are showing it seems to have an effect. You know, the scientific method as opposed to just chose to believe what you feel like.

Whereas Al Gore is a ???"
God you are a moron, I hope you never vote.
Gore is someone who had spoken to so many scientists who all said the same that he decided to believe their hard facts and tried to wake up the rest of the world. Its not what HE says, but what the thousands of scientist who are behind him says.
"Of course it doesn't completely 'disprove' global warming,"
To "disprove" it you would have to show that humans aren't responsible, if the atmospheric aerosols are reduced because of humans, its still humans who are the cause.
"I got tired of fighting with trolls on forums, because people somehow think that their gut feeling is better than real science"
Its a psychological copying mechanism, they can't deal with the truth so they invent something they can deal with. One of the big problems of democracy, it only works if you have a really well education population who can rise about the emotional turbulence.

"There goes the argument that games are only pirated because companies insist on draconian DRM."
Except nobody says that only you - so by inventing a bullshit postulate you got some idiot to mod you up.
Got a link for that?
And judges in Denmark has already punished people who *LINKED* to mp3s from their homepages.
Of course thats not what they want. But it should be abolished, all over the world.
"Even Labour party in UK have realized that private capital is the most effective driving force of an economy ever known"
At the expensive of humanity.
In the human body, constant growth is called cancer - so it is in society.
Most Americans doesn't seem to have a clue, except socialism is oh so dangerous. Probably a bad educational system.
"They got a one-year prison sentence and 30 million SEK in fines for something that is legal."
Clearly not, they got a fine for something illegal. You must be mistaken.
Copyright is theft.
He didn't claim otherwise, and he has the law on his side
Or you'll keep getting more of this.
So you are saying we need to break them free?

Does this mean we can start to download programs from google again without getting our systems infested by their bloatware updater?
Used to have good karma, got totally modded down by people who simply disagree with an opinion different from their own.
Oh well.

"Over THERE wherever the poster is from,"
Their native language may not be English. He probably writes your language better than you write his.
That's why they get all hysterical in their deathtroes and try to invent fake ways to get some income before its over.

Its not funny, he is sadly correct.

You need to stop just following your feelings. Animals do that. It is not what science is about.
Thank you.
