About six months ago, I was overexerting myself trying to get rid of a terrible virus on a client's PC (I own a PC repair shop and have been fixing computers for over 10 years). Given my level of expertise, I thought I'd be able to get rid of it fairly quickly and without hassle, but as was made evident by my colossal failure, I was horribly, horribly wrong.
I couldn't remove the virus no matter what method I used. I tried all the latest anti-virus software and all the usual tricks, but it was all in vain. Failure after failure, my life was slowly being sucked away as I spent more and more of my time trying to get rid of this otherworldly virus.
Frustrated and stressed by my own failure, I began distancing myself from my wife and children. After a few days, I began verbally abusing them, and it eventually escalated into physical abuse. I was slowly losing what remaining sanity I had left. If this had continued for much longer, it is highly probable that I would have committed suicide. A mere shell of what I once was, I barricaded myself in my bedroom and cried myself to sleep for days on end.
That's when it happened: I found MyCleanPC! I installed MyCleanPC right on the client's PC, ran a scan, and it immediately got rid of all the viruses without a single problem. MyCleanPC accomplished in record time what I was unable to accomplish after a full week. Wow! Such a thing!
MyCleanPC is outstanding! My client's computer is running faster than ever! I highly recommend you install MyCleanPC right this minuteness, run a scan, and then boost your PC speed in record time! MyCleanPC came through with flying colours where no one else could!
My client's response? "MyCleanPC totally cleaned up my system, and increased my speed!" All the PC repair professionals are using MyCleanPC to solve all of their problems. This should be reason enough for you to switch to MyCleanPC! It'll speed up your computer, rid it of all viruses, and you'll be able to work productively again! Wow!
Even if you're not having any obvious computer problems, you could still be in trouble. That's why I very highly recommend that you still use MyCleanPC. After all, it will boost your PC & internet speed to levels you never would think are possible!
A few weeks ago, I foolishly ran a strange executable file that one of my acquaintances sent me by email. As someone who doesn't know much about computers, at the time, I thought nothing of it. "Why would my acquaintance want to hurt me?" Following this line of thought, I ran the file without question.
How naive I was. Despite having what was supposedly the best anti-virus software out right then, a virus took over my computer and held it hostage. It was pretending to be a warning from Windows telling me to buy some strange anti-virus software I'd never heard of from a company I'd never heard of to remove the virus.
This immediately set alarm bells off in my head. "How could this happen? My anti-virus is supposed to be second to none!" Faced with this harsh and depressing reality, I decided to take it to a PC repair shop for repair. They gladly accepted the job, told me it'd be fixed in a few days, and sent me off with a smile.
A few days later, they called me and told me to come pick up my computer. At the time, I noticed that they sounded like whimpering animals, but I concluded that it must just be stress from work. When I arrived, they, with tears in their eyes, told me that the virus was so awful and merciless that they were unable to remove it. "Ah," I thought. "That must be why the

Actually, as was pointed out, it's irrational to care about principles.
It's irrational to not care about your principles and then later bitch that things have remained the same. What a surprise!
And therein lies the rub - where?
In that amount of time, you can find multiple sources.
But really, you could at least look at their public voting record. I can eliminate so many candidates in a short amount of time this way. Voted for the Patriot Act? Gone. Supported a draconian copyright law? Gone. Supported the TSA? Gone. Etc. If you care about important issues, it doesn't take long to eliminate 99% of the available candidates.
If you go to Google, (or Bing)
Don't use that absolute garbage.
So how do I, an average voter, know where I should be doing my "5 minutes of fucking research"?
Well, if you've already decided that you're an "average voter," then there's not much hope for you.
Really? What lesson do they learn when they lose votes but retain power?
They're still fighting with the other party, and both 'sides' have third parties that align with their ideologies. Figure it out yourself. In the past, it did make an impact, and certainly more so than continuing to vote for evil every single time.
That is a rather immature (and pitifully black-and-white) description then you describe someone else as
It's not immature; it's simply the truth. You're either evil yourself, or stupid.
Someone else is not automatically evil just because you disagree with something they do.
But they are evil/stupid when they're voting for people who give us things like unfettered border searches, the TSA, the NSA, stop-and-frisk, constitution-free zones, the Iraq war, the war in Afghanistan, free speech zones, warrantless wiretapping of any kind, draconian copyright/patent laws, and all the other things the two parties use to infringe upon our rights.
People who vote for evil don't have to be evil, I suppose; they could just be complete morons. Well, which one are you?
That kind of mentality has brought us to - and some times beyond - the brink of war on more than one occasion.
Criticizing people for their voting choices != wanting war. Nice try.
It is rational to put no effort in voting decisions on a national level because the effort and time required to be informed is much larger than the realized value of your vote.
It is irrational to remain ignorant if you care about principles. It is irrational to remain ignorant if you do not like the status quo. Anyone who thinks this way should get some principles and stop pretending that being lazy and ignorant makes them rational.
At least do 5 minutes of fucking research. That would eliminate 99% of the candidates.
I'll stick to blaming people for their own laziness and stupidity. Of course, this doesn't mean I don't also blame the reporters for being liars.
Everyone should. At the very least, they need to be looking at all available sources of information and comparing the data. If people just blindly believe everything, they're just stupid.
Saying they should have done their own research is about as salient a point
It's simply the correct answer. People have a choice, and they choose to remain ignorant, thereby proving that they're idiots.
"Even if they don't win, it's better than voting for evil, and it can send a message to the main parties."
Both parties are disgusting and want to take away our rights. There is no excuse for voting for evil. Plus, if enough people stop being idiots, the main parties may 'learn' a thing or two due to the fact that they'd have to make some changes to get back those third party votes, if people even wanted to go back at all.
All voting for evil does is ensure that evil wins, making our country worse and worse. I know people with principles are few and far between, but come on now. Doesn't voting for evil make you feel like an idiotic piece of garbage? It should.
But really now, enough people voting for third parties would definitely send a messages to the main parties that they need to make some changes. So suck it up and stop letting the bogeymen scare you into voting for evil.
You have choices, and some of them are third parties. You (and people like you) just choose to make your own prophecies become a reality. Even if they don't win, it's better than voting for evil, and it can send a message to the main parties.
Thanks for voting for the candidates that continue to infringe upon our rights, though. I'm sure things will change for the better.
Then you are shortsighted and only seek to maintain the status quo. I know voting for candidates you actually like and that actually seem to care about freedom is a crazy idea, but just try it.
Well the net effect of "infringement" is extremely similar to theft.
Only if you're dumb enough to believe that 'losing' the opportunity to gain is the same as a loss, which it isn't.
Even the law doesn't recognize it as theft, by the way.
The copyright owner has had his property used without his permission even though in nearly ALL cases access to the copyrighted work was available tor a fee.
No. Someone else used their own private property (as in, their real property, not imaginary property) to send you some data. The copyright owner didn't have any of his property used for anything.
Your last statement "Nothing was taken from anyone" is simply not true. You used a copyrighted work without permission, that's taking something that doesn't belong to you and not paying for it.
Nothing was taken. Using a copyrighted work does not take anything from anyone.
This "but nothing physical was taken" does not excuse the act or make it right.
Says you. I don't share your idiotic opinion.
The real entitled ones are those who believe the government should continue to say they are entitled to government-enforced monopolies over ideas that infringe upon people's rights by their very existence. A truly entitled bunch, those people.
You mean people who feel they're entitled to government-enforced monopolies over ideas that infringe upon real private property rights and free speech rights? Yeah, those people are incredibly entitled.
Nobody objects to people having the protection of a limited copyright so that they can profit from their ideas.
I do. No one deserves government-enforced monopolies over ideas or procedures that, in their enforcement, infringe upon privacy property rights and free speech rights. Find your own business model; don't beg the government to enforce a monopoly for you.
Heck, if prosecutors were sufficiently resource-constrained, they would be incented to allow criminals to go free in order to avoid the time, expense, and effort of trials; charges would only be pursued against the shoo-in cases....
Good. Maybe we could stop prohibition 2.0 to relieve some of their burden.
The plea rate isn't the slam-dunk argument you think it is.
It is if you have principles and care about justice, rather than just caring about maximizing how many 'bad guys' you catch.

How naive I was. Despite having what was supposedly the best anti-virus software out right then, a virus took over my computer and held it hostage. It was pretending to be a warning from Windows telling me to buy some strange anti-virus software I'd never heard of from a company I'd never heard of to remove the virus.
This immediately set alarm bells off in my head. "How could this happen? My anti-virus is supposed to be second to none!" Faced with this harsh and depressing reality, I decided to take it to a PC repair shop for repair. They gladly accepted the job, told me it'd be fixed in a few days, and sent me off with a smile.
A few days later, they called me and told me to come pick up my computer. At the time, I noticed that they sounded like whimpering animals, but I concluded that it must just be stress from work. When I arrived, they, with tears in their eyes, told me that the virus was so awful and merciless that they were unable to remove it. "Ah," I thought. "That must be why the

About six months ago, I was overexerting myself trying to get rid of a terrible virus on a client's PC (I own a PC repair shop and have been fixing computers for over 10 years). Given my level of expertise, I thought I'd be able to get rid of it fairly quickly and without hassle, but as was made evident by my colossal failure, I was horribly, horribly wrong.
I couldn't remove the virus no matter what method I used. I tried all the latest anti-virus software and all the usual tricks, but it was all in vain. Failure after failure, my life was slowly being sucked away as I spent more and more of my time trying to get rid of this otherworldly virus.
Frustrated and stressed by my own failure, I began distancing myself from my wife and children. After a few days, I began verbally abusing them, and it eventually escalated into physical abuse. I was slowly losing what remaining sanity I had left. If this had continued for much longer, it is highly probable that I would have committed suicide. A mere shell of what I once was, I barricaded myself in my bedroom and cried myself to sleep for days on end.
That's when it happened: I found MyCleanPC! I installed MyCleanPC right on the client's PC, ran a scan, and it immediately got rid of all the viruses without a single problem. MyCleanPC accomplished in record time what I was unable to accomplish after a full week. Wow! Such a thing!
MyCleanPC is outstanding! My client's computer is running faster than ever! I highly recommend you install MyCleanPC right this minuteness, run a scan, and then boost your PC speed in record time! MyCleanPC came through with flying colours where no one else could!
My client's response? "MyCleanPC totally cleaned up my system, and increased my speed!" All the PC repair professionals are using MyCleanPC to solve all of their problems. This should be reason enough for you to switch to MyCleanPC! It'll speed up your computer, rid it of all viruses, and you'll be able to work productively again! Wow!
Even if you're not having any obvious computer problems, you could still be in trouble. That's why I very highly recommend that you still use MyCleanPC. After all, it will boost your PC & internet speed to levels you never would think are possible!

Actually, as was pointed out, it's irrational to care about principles.
It's irrational to not care about your principles and then later bitch that things have remained the same. What a surprise!
And therein lies the rub - where?
In that amount of time, you can find multiple sources.
But really, you could at least look at their public voting record. I can eliminate so many candidates in a short amount of time this way. Voted for the Patriot Act? Gone. Supported a draconian copyright law? Gone. Supported the TSA? Gone. Etc. If you care about important issues, it doesn't take long to eliminate 99% of the available candidates.
If you go to Google, (or Bing)
Don't use that absolute garbage.
So how do I, an average voter, know where I should be doing my "5 minutes of fucking research"?
Well, if you've already decided that you're an "average voter," then there's not much hope for you.
Really? What lesson do they learn when they lose votes but retain power?
They're still fighting with the other party, and both 'sides' have third parties that align with their ideologies. Figure it out yourself. In the past, it did make an impact, and certainly more so than continuing to vote for evil every single time.
That is a rather immature (and pitifully black-and-white) description then you describe someone else as
It's not immature; it's simply the truth. You're either evil yourself, or stupid.
Someone else is not automatically evil just because you disagree with something they do.
But they are evil/stupid when they're voting for people who give us things like unfettered border searches, the TSA, the NSA, stop-and-frisk, constitution-free zones, the Iraq war, the war in Afghanistan, free speech zones, warrantless wiretapping of any kind, draconian copyright/patent laws, and all the other things the two parties use to infringe upon our rights.
People who vote for evil don't have to be evil, I suppose; they could just be complete morons. Well, which one are you?
That kind of mentality has brought us to - and some times beyond - the brink of war on more than one occasion.
Criticizing people for their voting choices != wanting war. Nice try.
The two main parties don't lose power when you do that
They don't need to lose power; just votes. If enough people change their votes, they'll want to get them back.
But again, even if all of the above weren't true, voting for evil is in itself intolerable, unacceptable, and evil.
It is rational to put no effort in voting decisions on a national level because the effort and time required to be informed is much larger than the realized value of your vote.
It is irrational to remain ignorant if you care about principles. It is irrational to remain ignorant if you do not like the status quo. Anyone who thinks this way should get some principles and stop pretending that being lazy and ignorant makes them rational.
At least do 5 minutes of fucking research. That would eliminate 99% of the candidates.
I'll stick to blaming people for their own laziness and stupidity. Of course, this doesn't mean I don't also blame the reporters for being liars.
You should be doing your on research as well.
Everyone should. At the very least, they need to be looking at all available sources of information and comparing the data. If people just blindly believe everything, they're just stupid.
Saying they should have done their own research is about as salient a point
It's simply the correct answer. People have a choice, and they choose to remain ignorant, thereby proving that they're idiots.
"Even if they don't win, it's better than voting for evil, and it can send a message to the main parties."
Both parties are disgusting and want to take away our rights. There is no excuse for voting for evil. Plus, if enough people stop being idiots, the main parties may 'learn' a thing or two due to the fact that they'd have to make some changes to get back those third party votes, if people even wanted to go back at all.
All voting for evil does is ensure that evil wins, making our country worse and worse. I know people with principles are few and far between, but come on now. Doesn't voting for evil make you feel like an idiotic piece of garbage? It should.
But really now, enough people voting for third parties would definitely send a messages to the main parties that they need to make some changes. So suck it up and stop letting the bogeymen scare you into voting for evil.
People don't expect the news to lie
Then they're stupid.
Yeah, community where people have multiple wives and then children will have serious genetic issues in just a couple of generations.
I see no reason that that would be the case, but I really couldn't care less. If people choose to do such things, it's their choice.
So there is a reason for not allowing it.
So, then, you are in favor of restricting the freedom of consenting people in exchange for safety. How brave and free you must be.
A person can indeed be smart, but the number of people who actually are smart is absolutely minuscule.
In the US, there is no choice.
You have choices, and some of them are third parties. You (and people like you) just choose to make your own prophecies become a reality. Even if they don't win, it's better than voting for evil, and it can send a message to the main parties.
Thanks for voting for the candidates that continue to infringe upon our rights, though. I'm sure things will change for the better.
The matter for me is closer to
Then you are shortsighted and only seek to maintain the status quo. I know voting for candidates you actually like and that actually seem to care about freedom is a crazy idea, but just try it.
dont blame the voters
Don't blame people for their own shortsightedness and stupidity? I think I'll do just that. They should be doing their own research to begin with.
Is there much of a moral distinction between copyright infringement and theft?
If you're not a complete moron, yes. But as you later show in your comment, you are, in fact, a moronic government cheerleader that despises freedom.
Well the net effect of "infringement" is extremely similar to theft.
Only if you're dumb enough to believe that 'losing' the opportunity to gain is the same as a loss, which it isn't.
Even the law doesn't recognize it as theft, by the way.
The copyright owner has had his property used without his permission even though in nearly ALL cases access to the copyrighted work was available tor a fee.
No. Someone else used their own private property (as in, their real property, not imaginary property) to send you some data. The copyright owner didn't have any of his property used for anything.
Your last statement "Nothing was taken from anyone" is simply not true. You used a copyrighted work without permission, that's taking something that doesn't belong to you and not paying for it.
Nothing was taken. Using a copyrighted work does not take anything from anyone.
This "but nothing physical was taken" does not excuse the act or make it right.
Says you. I don't share your idiotic opinion.
The real entitled ones are those who believe the government should continue to say they are entitled to government-enforced monopolies over ideas that infringe upon people's rights by their very existence. A truly entitled bunch, those people.
You mean people who feel they're entitled to government-enforced monopolies over ideas that infringe upon real private property rights and free speech rights? Yeah, those people are incredibly entitled.
Nobody objects to people having the protection of a limited copyright so that they can profit from their ideas.
I do. No one deserves government-enforced monopolies over ideas or procedures that, in their enforcement, infringe upon privacy property rights and free speech rights. Find your own business model; don't beg the government to enforce a monopoly for you.
Well, that wouldn't help the privacy situation.
Heck, if prosecutors were sufficiently resource-constrained, they would be incented to allow criminals to go free in order to avoid the time, expense, and effort of trials; charges would only be pursued against the shoo-in cases....
Good. Maybe we could stop prohibition 2.0 to relieve some of their burden.
The plea rate isn't the slam-dunk argument you think it is.
It is if you have principles and care about justice, rather than just caring about maximizing how many 'bad guys' you catch.
