The problem isn't piracy. The problem ultimately is greed.
On both sides. Lets be honest here, you're fighting for cheap entertainment. That's hardly a worthy rallying cry for anyone who isn't subject to a greedy desire to hoard lots of music without paying for it.
The off-topic portion of the rant: This (read: whatever) style of writing must stop. It wasn't clever the first time some lame writer came up with it, and it certainly hasn't aged like wine to this billionth iteration. Just stop. Please.
The on-topic portion of the rant: The fact that the games are open-source does not make them "important." They are games. Rip-off clone games at that.
Of course, evidence of payouts beyond the beliefs espoused would be nice, but why do all that hard work when what you're looking to do is shut them up?
I guess when you're 100% convinced you're right, any shitty action can be justified.
Your point would have been better if it included the mass slaughter of citizens by the government, but then your couldn't draw your ridiculous parallel anymore. I guess it sucks when you're dying to make a shitty point.
The few driving experiences I've had in a Kia have kept me from even wanting to ride in one. Have they improved the awful handling, poor ride, and general low build quality yet?
Shhh, you'll piss off all the people here who feel they're entitled to be paid ridiculous amounts of money for work that is, in reality, less and less valuable every year.
It's the same kind of mindset that has geeks believing people really want to hack their operating system, then scratching their heads when the awful truth that no one cares hits them.

Doesn't everything happen after before?
You have a swollen "back in my day" gland. I'd get that looked at if I were you.
Lie about it, and recommend whichever vendor gives you the most kickbacks.
So playing other people's music is now creating? Interesting. I've been creating music my entire life and didn't even realize it!
Shh, you've gone against the culture of sharing* other people's work.

Thank you for your time.

Well, they have dark skin. Duh.
Chances are you've never driven a car over the speed of sound. Low velocity applies.
Nobody bought a Dreamcast because Sony was overhyping the PS2 with their claims of real time Toy Story graphics.
I wasn't aware there were people out there who purchased games only to listen to the music. Personally, I like playing them, but that's just me.
See what you get for being reasonable?
Wow, you went from mixing two separate issues to mixing about six. Maybe five. It's hard to count in that muddle.
You really ought to get your thoughts straight before you go on these rants.
Your point would have been better if it included the mass slaughter of citizens by the government, but then your couldn't draw your ridiculous parallel anymore. I guess it sucks when you're dying to make a shitty point.
I usually just line the gnomes up by height.
Your logic hurts my head

Don't step on entitlements, man.
Yes, thanks be to the programmers for all those bug-free console games.
I always assumed that whatever speed light traveled at was the speed of light.
My poor English language! What have you done to it?

Any examples of a display that decides for you? I've heard of players that make such decisions, but not displays.
By the way, your comment made me extremely happy. I'm a big fan of the crazies around here, and there was a serious lack of looniness going on.
When has anyone ever known a zealot to change their mind? I can't believe this is even being asked.
