So then, how much should the entertainment industry be paid? How many hoops should I have to jump through to simply view a movie that I wish to view? How many times should I have to purchase the same song so that I can listen to it when I want to?
Seriously, there is a point where the entertainment, no matter what form of entertainment, has gone too far from keeping me from my product. I don't tend to pirate anything, but eventually enough is enough. Also, I am happy that I'm able to run PSP games regardless where I buy them. I think that more companies should allow me to do that. Why, as a consumer, should I be forced to buy a separate DVD/PSP/ect. system if I want to view my legally purchased foreign country's media? I don't see why I should be punished if I rather watch a German movie or Japanese film that will never see the light of day in the USA.
What are you talking about this "Red Scare"? The Communazzies were pointing nucular weapons of mass destruction at us. At freedom-loving Americans. So don't tell me about your liberal, hippy, baby-killing beliefs that this is anything like that. Reform your ways and support Big Brother in protecting you, from yourself, by stripping you of any right to rebel and invading your homes.
In the future, old men will text-yell at kids to get off their porch, where the kids will make their slow get away on their hoverbikes... I was thinking about adding in a obesity joke to the mix, but I'm afraid that one will come true.
I'm unsure most people in this new age of technology have the ability to truly be able to understand the format of a formal letter anymore. Everyone wants things fast and easy to read. I'm not going to hold my breath that in 20 years, children's textbooks will just list a bunch of facts under a title instead of artfully crafting the crap they have now.
Of course, I could just be horribly pessimistic about this.
Yeah, but we're talking Apple. So it's more like, "Fool me once, get $200 dollars out of me. Fool me twice, convince me into buying a $500 computer for $2000."
