Why does it matter if they're making money or not? I hear this statement quite frequently, but I've never understood why someone would care, unless it's just jealousy. If they sell a pirate DVD for $5, does that hurt you more than if they just gave it away? Not trolling here -- can you explain?
Yes, because things like "Thou shalt not kill" and "Thou shalt not steal" are just horrible public policy. Damned zealots.
It's not about the rules, it's about where they come from. If you say, "Thou shalt not kill because it's the root of X socioeconomic problem" then fine, but if you say, "Thou shalt not kill because some invisible ghost told me so" then you don't belong in politics...
So if you have $50 for food for the week, which decision do you think most parents are going to make?
Ok, but making that decision is probably based on ignorance or laziness or some combination of both. Dry beans, rice, canned/frozen veggies, apples, etc.. all dirt cheap. Find a bottle of cheap multivitamins and you will be quite healthy. The problem is that people eat for pleasure now, instead of just eating to get nutrition and stay alive. I can feed myself for about $1/day, 2 meals (i usually skip breakfast) and get all my nutritional requirements... Sure, it's not decadent living, but I have better uses for the food money I save, and this is even more true if you're making $7/hr and have a family
You don't really think they're pulling you over so you can fix your light, do you? Because they care about public safety, right? They're pulling you over on the hopes that they can nail you for some other more serious crime that they can "detect" by looking inside your car while interrogating you and looking up your records in their computer...

How is this not a denial-of-service attack? I don't think you get to violate a law to enforce another law, especially when you're not even a law-enforcement entity...

the goggles do nothing.
You'd better watch what you say about North Korea or else they will reduce you to ashes in 3-4 minutes
except it's Roque, not Rogue

What's the German word for "the boner you get from too much Schadenfreude"?
Schadenwoode?

Cmon, we can do better than 57%
You've only just entrenched me even farther
Yeah, and I was pretty sure that I would catch Bigfoot when I dumped all my savings into my Bigfoot-capturing enterprise... Stupid Bigfoot....
I'm betting he got married on the day of his highest net worth.
Gee, how romantic...

Making a jar of salsa and canning a jar of salsa are two completely different things.
well spoken

so they not only take our jobs, but now they take our cake too??
now i just need to store all my child porn in my browser cache folder and i'm free and clear
on the other hand, if they were being forced to watch an in-flight Jennifer Aniston movie, then it's just merciful...

Piracy is theft no matter how you dress it up
Call it whatever you want. I'm going to bleed those motherfuckers any way I can. And that shit's on purpose.
