I've heard a lot of talk about how pirating people's music is not the right way to go...because stealing is wrong...yadda yadda yadda. Well I say screw that! As I recall one of the founding fathers of the United States of America...Thomas Jefferson to be precise once said something to the effect of...every now and then a little civil disobediance is not only necessary but a good thing. And what was the boston tea party but both a crime and a form of civil disobediance. Also, what of the works of Thoreau (sp?) in walden didn't he advise things such as not paying your taxes as a form of civil disobediance? I would think that if this was "ok" then so would be blatantly taking away all of the recording industry in order to bring it to it's knees. As I see it the recording industry has gotten totally out of hand and it's time for a change I mean 17 to 20 dollars for a piece of plastic that probably only has one or two good songs on it? That is simply ludicrous. So I say it's time we send the recording industry as a whole a message that we will no longer be ROBBED blind and until they make a change we will simply take their music that isn't worth the plastic it's printed on. So in closing I tire of the recording industry's greed and stuipidity...I say it's time they burn.
Yes, war indeed. I personally haven't bought a nintendo product in several years because of a previous disagreement over nintendo policy however if I wasn't already pissed at nintendo this would definately do it. I also think it's time we let nintendo know just what we think...does anyone have a good email adress....heh heh. I hope they take hell over this.Not, that I agree with Sony's views on emulation either but I hope playstation buries 'em.
