One aspect of piracy that’s less discussed is the files typically have less DRM and platform restrictions. You’re less likely to be locked to a specific console or player which removes one of the primary concerns with digital about losing access based on the whims of the studios. I think it’s one of the reasons…

Torrenting can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning.

Contracts don't make them immune to legal action. It just makes things more complicated 

I’ll just outright say it: you’re trying to say piracy. If you buy something digitally, it seems like you should be justified in retaining a backup copy for this very reason.

Something something high seas, something something torrent.

They really should be taken to court for this. Licenses expiring is a common thing in digital distribution. The solution is to pull the licensed content from the store, not user libraries. That’s been the standard practice for games, I don’t see why it should be any different for movies or TV shows.

well i would have but i just couldn’t find enough change behind the couch.

Can you blame me?

Amazon has completely fucked up what was great about Amazon. You used to be able to find stuff through Amazon’s search, and then get convenient purchasing and fulfillment. Now, the first 30 or so results you get are usually hot flaming garbage - to the point where even the Washington Post felt compelled to write a big…

Reference to a Rage Against The Machine song about cops.

I respect the RATM lyric reference in the sub-headline.

I love cars, just as I’m sure other readers here do, so I gave all the Top Gear iterations a watch. And...they were just always so meh compared to the Top Gear—the one starring Clarkson, Hammond, and May. And let’s face facts: it wasn’t the car reviews and stunts that truly made the show—it was the hosts’ constant…

“I have guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force, and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to.”

Judaism is a religion, not a race,

I work at a huge, multinational corporation with over 100,000+ employees. We made a decision to cease using “ X” months ago. We pulled all logos off our web sites, stopped all social media campaigns and ad buys. More or less cleaned our hands of them. I’m glad we did. The guy is an asshole and we want nothing to do…

Ask them politely about Jesus’s skin tone and watch their heads explode when you point out he would have been the ONLY WHITE person in the entire Middle East. (Skin tone should be olive, akin to modern Greece if memory serves...)

White christians always forgetting jesus was a Jew.

He’s just like Homelander from The Boys. He’ll follow whoever loves him even if it’s literal Nazis.

I can assure you that even in my area, Enterprise IT, the customers know FAR more than the sale dudes do. That is why our sales dudes are actually titled “Customer Relationship Managers”. We have OTHER people in different roles who handle the technical end of things.
