it, let SOPA pass. Let the internet, as the average USA Today reader knows it, turn into nothing more than Facebook and online retail. Let's find another, smarter way to steal that they won't catch onto for at least a few years. Then do it again and again until they're exhausted and destitute from ing their own asses. |
Why do we talk about this like it's our god-given right to steal intellectual property? |

They're so ing butthurt over lost revenues from piracy. What happens when they lose revenue because people just stop buying the bull they put out? Seriously, this is so asinine that it needs a boycott. I realize it's probably a pipe-dream but the copyright legislation in this country is a massive joke, along with a lot of what suffices for entertainment, these days. |
They also always come up with these completly absurd, made up numbers of 'lost revenue'. Not every case of filesharing is a lost sale and even then their numbers generally are completly made up.
Basically, this is an industry that thinks that their right to make absurd amounts of money is a god-given law and soon as anything threatens it, it needs to be destroyed. They claim that their right to make money goes over the right of anyone else. Who cares if we completly shut down the internet, as long as they make money everything is fine. They huddle around 100 year old copyright laws which were clearly were not made for the internet age. |
