Re: I dont care still! said by DaMaGeINC:I stopped watching "live" tv years ago. Why would I want to spend 15min every hour watching commercials??!! Why would I want people constantly screaming at me to buy this and that car? WHY??????????!!!!!!!!! I have been downloading every single thing ive ever wanted to watch to a file-server and watch it commercial free any time of the day or night as I please. I have total control of my entertainment and thats the way I plan on doing it for the rest of my life! I have even taught those close to me to do the same. My mother can download all the tv shows she wants to watch and has OTA tv for her news. I laff at people that would pay $100's for total lack of control of there entertainment. Ya sure, go get a DVR and pay for that too, but guess what? You STILL GET THE COMMERCIALS!!!!!! HAHAHAHA You still have a limited amount of storage space and your still a slave to what they want you to watch when they want you to watch it! So until I can watch tv without commercials and pick any show I would possibly want to watch any possible time of the day, I say FU to the cable company's and satellite folks as-well. So you illegally download stuff. nice. So companies are suppsoe to provide you entertainment for FREE? I swear since when do people think everything is supposed to be welfare? |

 | So having no money justifies theft? You are why my costs are constantly going up. |

 | wait, you actually BELEIVE the BS that the media MAFIAA dishes out that theft causes higher prices? they're making fist fulls of money daily, look at how well the actors and executives are doing. theft of digital entertain is not the same as theft of a physical good. |

You live alone, and have no money, but yet you still want what everyone else has to go to work for and earn the money to "have"... GREAT attitude!
... it certainly makes the rest of us honest, hard working Americans feel better that we go to work every day, earn an honest living, CHOSE what we are going to spend our money on so we can "have".. and our bills go up because the slackers and self appointed people out there can simply "take" what they want and justify it because "everyone else is fools"...
Karma.. enjoy it! |

 fiberguyMy views are my own.Premium join:2005-05-20 kudos:3 | reply to DaMaGeINC You stopped being a "consumer" when you stopped spending your money.. Google is largely free, why don't you use it to look up some of these words you throw out there..
What you are, to be honest, is a thief.. don't try to justify it anyway to the rest of us because you won't chance our minds.. If you want to be a thief, then by all means, go for it.. don't try tellings the rest of us what's right or what's wrong..
If it's not "worth your money" then don't buy it.. but don't sit here trying to justify it to others at the same time as acceptable either... I'd tell you how I really feel, but the mods have a problem with me doing that. |

 | reply to DaMaGeINC said by DaMaGeINC:Your right! I am a thief. I copy 1's and 0's! Big whoop. Who cares. By your logic you could walk into a bank and steal all of the money there. After all it's just paper and not anything of value.

There are lots of things we buy that are subject to terms and conditions and sometimes limited use. I'm not pissed off I can't use my snow blower in summer or my lawn mower in winter. |

It's ashame that people think like you.. Um, there is more than just 1's and 0's there bub.. there are, to be honest, lots of 1's followed by a lot of 0's and many other numbers that go in that equation preceded by a dollar sign that goes into producing those worthless 1's and 0's you steal...
Based on your analogy, those same 1's and 0's make up thinks like Microsoft's Windows program and apple's Leopard O/S too... those same "big woops" as you call them make up everything digital.. so in your way of thinking, anything that's digital should be free so long as you want to take it...
Ummm... in case you haven't noticed, just about EVERYTHING is going to those little 1's and 0's that are just "big whoop" to you..
I seriously am having a hard time comprehending your way of thinking,.. and why? ... because it's INCREDIBLY insane...
Would you buy a car that you could only drive from 9-5 and still have to buy the gas for it? And, would I buy a car that I could only drive from 9-5? ... well, it depends on the price, the terms, and if I felt it was a value to me or not...
... from simple minds come... (never mind)
News flash - you DON'T have control over everything you "buy".... something things you're not buying to keep.. read your terms... YOU don't always get to set them... and in this case, the case of pay subscription television, subscription being the key term, YOU DON'T OWN IT! You're paying for the right to use it so long as you are a subscriber.
If all of this is seriously your way of thinking, well, someone failed you somewhere... be it your parents, the school system, or someone else..
When I need something, I buy it, but I would not buy something that I have no control of. |

| OTA is an option, but it isnt viable for everyone. I tried with an indoor antenna and I was only able to get 1 OTA channes (PBS)... but I am glad that most OTA programming is freely available online!!! So I just get basic cable (I get more channels than advertised via QAM) and watch everything else on the Internet. |
