Yes! Stand up for free entertainment and the right to deface websites! Stop the fascists from stopping us from pointlessly being a pain in everyone's ass! We're entitled to be jerks!
We aren't aiming for 'benign' capitalism. We simply reject the notion that it is our lot in life to prop up the weak. The great thing about we capitalists is that unlike you idealists, we don't pretend that utopia is achievable. We don't even care about it. We just do our thing.
Gah, the hyperbole is ridiculous with you. Calm down on the "fucking" and the "assraping" talk. It's entertainment, not your blood. Whining that it costs too much to have every entertainment option you desire available to you at all times makes you just as much of a "twat" as those you excoriate. Your greed isn't any more moral than theirs.
And according to the children pirating everything left and right, people deserve to be entertained for free. The tension settles somewhere in the middle, just as it should.
I kinda wish that the punishment for using barely applicable analogies filled with hyperbole in the service of bolstering a weak point was a swift kick in the nuts.
Of course it matters. The 14 year olds (and the mental 14 year olds) need to fight out which major corporation is more deserving of undying allegiance or they might have to start thinking for themselves - and that hurts in the head.
In the grand scheme of things, yes, you're no one. You can always find one or two people doing some weird one-off. The world little notes nor long remembers. That's just how it goes.
Yeah exactly success is nothing but luck. Is that maybe your reason why you deserve the fruits without putting in the labor? I've certainly read that cute little hypothesis here often enough.
If you are one of the lucky few who can get through life without having to establish your reputation through such means, then that's great, but that doesn't give you the right to be condescending toward the vast, vast majority of individuals who work hard and manage their credit wisely.
I'm mostly with you aside from the part I quoted - doing something better than the vast, vast majority actually DOES give one the right to be condescending. You just don't like it, but that's irrelevant. You have no right to a world you like.

Yeah, that's Apple being scared. It's definitely not your wishful thinking projecting emotions onto a business decision.
Well, to be technically correct, they sue them because they believe their rights have been infringed.
Is you a grown retard?
Yes! Stand up for free entertainment and the right to deface websites! Stop the fascists from stopping us from pointlessly being a pain in everyone's ass! We're entitled to be jerks!
Yeah cause here on Slashdot we all know if the crime was committed with a computer, it's not really crime.

Yes but let's assume we aren't asking the question for the 0.00001% of humanity with no interest in being a part of society.
But a more complicated joke would go right over the women's heads.

Well you've really hammered home your point.
Assuming your point is that you're a rabid asshole.
Yeah all this cheap, ubiquitous, amazingly capable computing is terrible for users. We really lost.
Go ahead and predict the past future if things were the way you wanted them if you must, but that's a bankrupt exercise in wish fulfillment.

"Fail" isn't a noun. Leave the mangling of communication to the children who think defacing sites is some sort of activism.
Apple should be forced to allow everyone to use their work for free. It is the only possible moral stance.
I guess you're one of those "I deserve everything for free because I was born" types, eh?
Reading these sorts of comments after a decade plus of smug nerds ragging Windows for not being perfect makes me chuckle.
(Note: I don't own any Windows machines, before you accuse me of some form of fanboyism)

Shocking. A bunch of anti-social nerds post about how they hate social networking. I never would have seen these comments coming.

Yeah, you keep waiting on that. Hold your breath even.
Yeah, to be cool... that's why people are here. Exactly right.
We should give you a name, like shit4brains, because you have shit for brains.

You could move somewhere that doesn't require you to drive. You aren't entitled to the lifestyle you want, only the lifestyle you've earned.
