| Studies continually show that users who pirate content via B ... and so we believe that that makes piracy OK, eh Karl?
Really, Karl, Lets try it this way. Studies continually show that people who speed and are fined by the state are frequently fined more often than people who do not speed and are not fined by the state.
Which part of IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU DO AFTER YOU STEAL A VIDEO IS HARD FOR YOU?
Dude, I am sorry. I see no reason to talk up all this trash about how piracy feeds the coffers. It doesn't and if you are really foolish enough to believe that, you are deluding yourself.
Mind you, there is an other side to the coin and that is why this WISP tells the RIAA, and whomever else that demands we turn someone off that they must pay us an "engineering" fee to get us to do that. I should also point out that they never call back, we never get the fee and until they decide that they want to pay for our time, they are never going to get service from us.
Really, though, dude, get over this RIAA crap. Get over this self delusion that people who pirate buy more. They just don't. Let me ask you, how many songs are on your system that you did not pay for? How many movies? Why, then are you lying to yourself and the rest of the planet?
Just admit it. People who pirate content are stealing from the authors of that content because they don't want to pay for that content. Just speak truth. Just be honest with yourselves. It is not complicated, hard, and it requires no moral contortions.
People who pirate software, music, or video *ARE* thieves and that IS the truth, even when they want to bull shit themselves and the rest of the planet. |
