$100,000 a year I doubt, possibly 10k a year. The rest would be in the form of a label supplied dwelling, and vehicle. Both of which cost the label far less to provide as they own them then to pay the artist that sum per year. If things didn't work out, the label kicks out the artist. I've no citation for this theory, but it makes sense from a business perspective. Why pay them an exorbitant amount when you can pay them that on paper and put them up in a house the label owns then deduct that from the amount they earn. Bait and switch.
Put that to a 1-4-5 chord progression with the chorus on the relative minor and it's a guaranteed hit. At least that's what I think the current formula follows.
I'm anti-piracy, I'm one of those weirdos who thinks artists deserve to get money for what they produce,
I wouldn't say I'm anti-piracy per se, but I have been known to download cracked things on a trial basis, if I decide to keep I show my support and purchase, if not I delete all relevant files and never look back. I'm also all for artists getting paid, but what you fail to realize is how little artist actually receive.
So by this formula, it would appear that piracy does indeed affect the artist, but more-so affects the label. I've no problem with a label not getting paid.
What 2 seater can you get for 15k? You are also leaving out, pilots license and plane annuals when considered with the cost of craft, storage, maintenance, cost of keeping licensed, not to mention fuel, it's no wonder there are as few private pilots as there are.
That 2 seater you mentioned probably has less than a 1000 nm range.
To get their heads out of their asses. We don't need the TSA. They are not a real authoritative group yet they have police like powers. Why is that? The "give up your freedoms to fight terrorism time is past" 11 years of this crap is well more than enough. Hell reinforcing and locking the cockpit door will do more alone than the TSA. In the time of the TSA how many terrorist attacks on planes have been stopped? If you argue the point that there have been none since the TSA began monitoring airports and the like, I'll remind you that pre-9/11 there were none as well. There was no TSA then.
Since programs were first run on a computer there have been bugs, they continue to this day in most games be they some random video glitch or full blown crashes to desktop (pc gamer here, one that suffers Dead Island crashes atm). Bugs are everywhere.
This makes sense, since requiring just one patch could massively cut into the profits for a company.
This makes sense for smaller houses but a title that rakes in more than a million in sales on the first day of launch this wouldn't be that much of an issue. If your studio is making niche games then yeah.
You can argue that sacrifices are made in order to learn about attackers, but I'd pose that a breach spanning 10 years allowing uninhibited access is stretching that argument.
I'd say knuckleheads that are too lazy to type out a coherent thought, or have permanent text fingers. Take your pick. Please do not lump all Americans in with that category. Some are actually not sarcasm deficient.
In your case were you actually guilty? Or were you innocent. If talking something that is minor and will not stay on your record yeah it may be worth it. If not then why take the easy road out?

Are we talking plant or animal? I was under the impression that ocean stromatolites were first.

You mention that yet leave out that the hook was "goo goo g'joob".
I have no issue with this, it's the artists I'd prefer got paid.
-1000 Geek points for not knowing how to contact them.
If they are tracking your IP by visiting they may be gathering UserAgent data as well, just change your UserAgent to something like FUCK SOCA.

/wipes brow.
For a second I thought you were gonna tell me healing crystals didn't work too. I was gonna call bullshit.
There I fixed that for you.

Smoke and mirrors. Gov'ment gets to pad the budget, while making America feel safe when we are no safer than 9-11.
I'd prefer to be felt up in private.
Wasn't one mauled by a tiger?

+5 Right on.

I blame the dolts that aren't able to adequately tell if their pc can run a game based on the boxes listed minimum sys reqs.
This makes sense for smaller houses but a title that rakes in more than a million in sales on the first day of launch this wouldn't be that much of an issue. If your studio is making niche games then yeah.
That's gold.
That assumes they currently don't sink to that level. Or maybe they just don't get caught doing it.
You can argue that sacrifices are made in order to learn about attackers, but I'd pose that a breach spanning 10 years allowing uninhibited access is stretching that argument.
That's just outright incompetence.
Someone should mod this Funny.
Now that's funny.
Space exploration is where most of our military science came from in the first place.
