I must be getting old. But tldr version - Big Chain Movie Theaters are usually not a good experience in my opinion.
An insight: put the tldr at the beginning. (I've started putting "Executive Summary" sections at the beginning of my too-long-because-they-include-logs emails, and it has helped my career.)
I suppose it's slightly less demeaning than just giving your boss a blowjob, for the same effect.
Linux (the kernel) has millions of users, yet none of them pays/donates anything.
Really? You're going to make that an absolute statement?
Are you THAT retarded?
There are thousands of important free software projects all created by developers receiving little to no compensation.
Ah, now with the weasel words. Nevermind that your conclusion is fundamentally false, even if I accept your premise.
Developers of open source software receive quite a bit in compensation--that's how free software works. See, I find I need a piece of software. I make it. I release it for free in case someone else finds they have the same need. Someone else does the same, I find that I have a use for their product, and use it.
That is compensation. Just because it isn't quid pro quo doesn't make it not compensation.
Depending on your jurisdiction that might actually be a problem--rape laws are written such that in some places the woman can change her mind after the fact and it will qualify as rape.
What I do is go on reliablilty first, time of completion of tasks, if it is a male or female: IE I have given raises and next thing I know she is preganant and that pisses me off
As a non-CEO of a non-Corporation I can tell you that you should have consulted your attorneys before admitting to that, and if you really think/. is anonymous...enjoy your golden parachute.
What I want to know is, was I modded redundant because I pointed out the obvious that the obvious troll is obvious? Or was it my obvious redundant use of the word obvious when commenting on the obvious fact that the obvious troll is obvious?
I never made an analogy...so I don't know what the point of your post is. I think you might be agreeing with me without even knowing it, and if not, you make no sense.

I mean seriously, how many damned reality shows and spin offs of L&O and CSI CAN they spew out?
As many as their advertisers will pay for.

Dunno about you, but that Primordial Soup is pretty tasty.
The only remarkable thing about my record was a 2370 SAT score (not trying to brag -- it was pure luck if you ask me).
You youngins and your new-fangled new-format SATs. Back in my day it was 1600 or bust.

Distribution != production.
Any /.er who doesn't know this (hint:Video Games) doesn't deserve the title.
Whale's don't add any previously sequestered carbon to the biosphere (unless they drink straight from the BP wellhead).
I now imagine barfly cetaceans lining up for the 'kegger.'
You must be new here...
There's a deficit that's 90% of the country's GDP.
Uh, no there isn't. That'd be around $12-13 trillion. No such deficit.
No, it depends more heavily on laws regarding unauthorized access to computer systems and the enforceability of absurd EULA terms (generally nil).

The conditions you have outlined will not create a free market. Go retake Econ 101.

Moderator must have been a linguist, since people who actually study language universally frown on prescriptivism.
Only self-righteous assholes are grammar nazis, not people who actually know anything about language.

I didn't make any mistake. I said
copying is theft.
I said exactly what I meant. You just don't know how to read.
Obvious troll is obvious.
Starbucks offer excellent products
Only if you hate coffee.
I was in a restaurant the other day that sang "Happy Birthday"...or was that supposed to be a snark?

You live in Maine?
It's no worse an analogy than calling copying 'theft.'
