    Well, that's idiotic.

    You are basically saying do away with welfare for anyone who can work.

    You don't seem to understand the real world is nuanced, and that isn't always an option.

    The solution is simple.

    The problem is that law dictates that creators are owed money for every single copy created and distributed.

    The solution is to cut that bullshit out. Let them get money from copies bought, and don't punish individuals for sharing a copy with their friends.

    Let's cut the lost sales myth bullshit argument out to. Repeated studies over the last 10 years continue to reveal two facts.

    1. Pirates are the biggest content spenders.
    2. Piracy creates word of mouth which creates more sales.

    It's not that hard people.

    You mean sacrificing justice for one individual to make an example out of him/her.

    That is absolute bullshit and that behaviour does not belong in civilized society.

    You linked to an RIAA site. What are you a shill, or just less educated than most?

    The RIAA/MPAA and other limited thinkers are the only reason copyright infringement is considered theft.

    Thankfully, legally and linguistically, it does not.

  8. There is no such things as proper style. Just subjective standards pushed on people.

    You need to work to survive. Laws limiting employment like that make sense. No one is forcing you to use Chrome, and there is no need for you to do so with alternatives. What exactly is the legal issue with the agreement?

  12. You have blinders on in all your posts.

    Most people here are simply pointing out that women lie about rape sometimes. And that isn't rape culture, that's just the fucking truth. The FBI has an astonishing number of rape claims that turn out to have been fabricated. Not just unable to prove, but that they found evidence the women were straight up lying.

    Every time anyone points out something reasonable you cry rape culture.

    People like you are the problem with feminism. You won't be happy until any women who accuses rape is automatically believed and the males automatically convicted.

    You have little credibility here. You are coming of as someone desperate to prove what they are talking about.

    Except you are doing it without showing anything you have accomplished, while talking down and criticism without reason someone who HAS shown what they have accomplished. They likely know more than you do on this subject, so just shut the fuck up. Please.

    They are not doing the work for free, they get paid. If they want a good ROI, don't include shitty DRM.

    If they switch to that model, then the people who are fine with that model will buy it.

    People who rightfully oppose that model will pirate, and the company will either wise up or go out of business.

    Inconveniencing all your customers to try and get back a few potential sales is bullshit. Something is wrong when the pirates are putting out a better product.

    I dunno, I make that in NYC. I have an awesome decently spaced (700 sqft) 1br apartment in a very cool neighborhood for around 2200/month.

    I plan on getting a mortgage soon, and my monthly costs toward housing will only reduce. I make enough money to take cabs everywhere, buy random luxurious shit like expensive drones, custom made leather jackets, a wardrobe of tailored clothes, a 75" TV with a surround setup and PS4....and I have plenty to spare. Hell I just went for a 1 week vacation in SF, LA and Vegas.

    I feel like I make enough to enjoy a luxury lifestyle and to be able to have enough leftover to put towards savings and the stock market.

    According to some calculator I just used, I'm in the top 14%. With my comp and bonuses I will likely go to top 12%.

    Anyone who doesn't think 100k in NYC is not only doing well but is damn well luxury has a lack of perspective and is completely, 100% out of fucking touch.
