Did he say it was? Did he say there were not other factors? Nope. What he said is that DRM does more to encourage people to pirate than prevent them from pirating. When it comes to DRM, it is that simple.

I am very much looking forward to McGee's Alice. With the bioshock/ea crap going on right now I am unsure weather to but it or pirate it, or do both. Bad DRM will motivate me to pirate it.

Not shits and giggles.. theater. To give ppl the false sense they have a clue what to do to protect us. And now it's an industry where people make money... Corruption will soon over take the TSA like it has the DEA.

You have the right to live for the moment, until the government decides its a national security threat and the revoke that right. That is what this is all about, the completely unreasonable and evil erosion of our rights and the danger of the slippery slope.

We are 'force' to use planes by the tight schedules of the society we live in. Your idea that we are 'free not to fly' doesnt really take into consideration the realities of modern society.

Very very good point. I plan on stealing this point from you in future arguments with people like this.

I'm sorry if you are unable to understand why the comparison is absolutely fair; sorry for the world that there are lots of people like you out there.

You are using the same justification of 'they are doing their job' to make it ok to stomp freedom and common sense, and to let little children be molested.

I am of the opinion that parents who allow others to touch their children like this are complicit to child abuse/sexual battery.

The DEA should not exist because it causes more harm to society than the drugs they wish to protect society from. But I can already see you dont understand freedom so dont bother replying.

It wasnt illegal to toss jews into ovens...

Assault isnt the end of the world withe still assault.

The fucken nazi's were doing their job too.

They would tazer her like an adult.

Ironic that the 'scum bag' howard stern loves female comics, and praises them as being funny.

Ok. For the record; chocolate is produced by bone fide slaves....

If you are holed up in your house then your normal pantry is your 'emergency' food, an your hot water tank is your water reserve. No need to buy anything special.

the us domestic system isnt all that difficult to understand, and in the world of instant access to conversion bringing it at all is shmuckish. The world purrs along with compatible standards. If you cant figure out the us domestic system you are an idiot.

Let add to this... Each person should have their own BOB (bug out bag) with supplies, along with an extra bag in that stays in the car.
