No, clearly YOU don't understand how -licensing- works. It's not a BLANKET COVERING unless the company in question allows for it. You are talking about different kinds of licenses. Some only cover a single or grouping of bands under a label while others grant larger label access. Very rarely does anyone get full label…

You do realize they'd need the licensing rights to every song in existence, which is way more than any company in the world has or has made. Seriously, you must have flunked out pretty early. This is like... the dumbest thing you've said so far and you've said some pretty dumb shit.

Godwin is in full effect. I'm shocked it took two articles to get to this point (or I missed one on the original news of the changes). In any case, yeah. We've hit that point where denying people the "right" to illegally use other people's music is comparable to genocide. I'm amazed.

Yep, and then screw over the person(s) who actually put work into the music by denying them royalty rights for their hard work. Such a great idea. Take money from a hard-working person and put it all in the hands of some dipshit who just sat down one day to play video games for more dipshits.

HOLY SHIT. A real, legitimate, rational counterpoint?! How do I bump your Stars up to 9,001?!

"[R]ecord labels are jealous (they want to dip) and pressure this."

Simple solution: Don't play the radio.

..you're joking. Right?

Honestly it's not his responsibility to ensure the masses are educated enough to know what it was. The modern self-entitled user is a cancer on every community. It's a shame, really. But agreed: people need to chill out.

Oh goody. You again.

It's a well-known fallacy amongst people not lacking in brains. It's a harshly worded fallacy, but one that is being used appropriately and contextually accurate. Non-issue here.

Ending ignorance of law and in general is a pretty big deal. Just as much so, false authorities such as yourself. Every battle important. Every victory worth the slog of endless stupid.

Right. Self-entitled neckbeards who don't grasp Copyright law. I don't see why you needed to repeat what I said.

Judging by your responses and posts you clearly failed the course. Nice try though, argument from authority fail. What people have been doing thus far is in-arguably illegal. Yes, the automated system currently sucks and will be fixed and altered, but the entire issue is that people did illegal shit and are now upset…

The only people opposed to the new VOD rulings are self-entitled neckbeard whiners who don't grasp Copyright law and that most of them were doing something wholly illegal and unethical. No one gives a shit about them and rightfully so.

Mate, you're arguing with a moron. The rest of us know what you mean and agree. The others, like Dryd, aren't worth more than 14 characters sans spaces.

No one is going to touch (ha) the fact that the boy's name is "Shota"?

-shrugs- By declaring something "too long" or "not worth [your] time" you're saying your opinion IS more valid since you can't take the time to actually hear out a dissenting viewpoint. Which is pretty arrogant and rude.

Ha, 1 sentence and 2 paragraphs is "too long"? -sigh- this generation.

You're arguing a losing position here. COD continues to sell due to pandering to low common denominator players and people in search of "the popular thing". Killing that hive mentality is almost impossible, especially since most (not all)core gamers give in eventually. It starts with not buying the game and sticking…
