The best part about this is, they will not increase the sale of any of these products at all.
If you cant afford it in the first place, you wont be buying it.
All this does, is actually hurt our entire civilization, especially those who cant afford these things. Things that are so easily copied and hurt no one by allowing poorer people access to them. There is no loss of sale and it only benefits the poor. Especially those burdened by health issues who pay 15k a year for insurance plans, who barely scrape by in todays world with min wage jobs, people who dont have a say at all in this country... people who try to just better their lives through knowledge using free programs, and perhaps building a future they can one day afford buy these "THINGS".
The benefits of piracy have outweighed the negative.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, made 2 billion dollars in 2 months. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a billion dollars in 1 week. Avatar made over a billion dollars world wide in ticket sales alone, not to mention blu-ray sales, netflix etc on top of that. These 3 items were ALL readily available through piracy. They were also pirated heavily. Did it actually negatively impact the sales? Perhaps a tiny bit, but c'mon. The amount of money those 3 items generated, prove that no matter how much something is pirated, it makes a FUCKLOAD of cash regardless.
Without piracy, ITUNES would never have existed. iTunes is a very profitable buisness for music, and apps. ALL of which are still pirated today.
Trying to end piracy, is basically denying the poor of things they otherwise could never afford. How will that ever benefit humanity?
This has nothing to do with the issue. The issue is about game companies trying to put an end to used game sales, and the methods they're going about it, that violate customers.
America wont stop it, cant stop it, and will ultimately destroy itself for a few rich multi national corporations who have no interest in America, other than benefiting off our high dollar value.
This is the world economy folks. America gets fucked to death, while the rich benefit.
So keep talking.. none of it matters. The articles dont matter, the government doesnt matter, the poverty level doenst matter, wages dont matter, nothing matters. You are being sold out, and thats the way it is.
Enjoy the blood bath thats coming, buy your guns, stock up on ammo, medicine, food, and water... then head for the mountains. You can leave your iphone behind. It wont be worth shit.

Republicunts would sell you out too.
Corporations run this world, your life is meaningless shit to them. They will have you killed if they want you out of the way.

Worst drives I've ever owned.
Cops love to be dicks. Trust me.
They dont want to be recorded because it would force them to behave.
Next time, inform anyone on your property that you are searching them before they leave, to see if they have stolen anything.
He if its good for the US government, why cant we all have our own little police state?

The tax will never go to educating kids on physical activities.
Fuck the shakedown.
Hell, Obama already signed into law the ability for the gov to take you away without a fair trial or even informing anyone of your disappearance.
Obama signed it saying he would never use it and disagrees with it...
So why did the dumb fuck sign it?
This country is corrupt as shit. Fuck America in its mouth. The constitution is worthless.
Btw a reporter was arrested in congress yesterday.
Yep, Obama is all show and no go.
Fuck them all. I would love to see this country without a government.
So President disappointment, says "I refuse to investigate a crook, because I'm the president and I have no legal power?"
What the fuck is the president for?

Perhaps you havent heard of SOPA, and which game companies support/fund its progress?
Perhaps gamestop should read you, your rights before paying.
As a kid once said in a car, on tape, after having a tooth pulled...
"Is this real life?"
Fuck fox news and the wallstreet shit rag.
You can find scientists who believe in jesus too, they're fucking idiots.
Because Weekend at Bernie's Flying Circus is a bad idea.
Planets are like porn chicks, you can see them, but you will never touch one.
You... RAWOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
Even better, Americans wont be able to afford an iphone anymore. Thats why I got rid of mine.
