Piracy is for smart people. Now I will still buy cd's, Blu-rays (never DVD's), and of course video games (too difficult/too risky to pirate usually) sometimes, but if you arent at least pirating music, you are dumb and a corporate slave,

If you really want to support a band, go see them in concert. They make WAY more from that than you buying their CD. Movie studios really don't need your help in the first place, unless it is a smaller budget indie film or a very ambitious but niche movie you want to support.

poor guys

trying to justify your weaknesss...

industry is not just about a band or a studio... think about all people working from the distribution line to the retailler before you pirate anything

Also, "smart guy", I DO hope that if you create anything one day, someone will steal it from you and use it

he will be the smarter one, and you will be the mind-raped one

 

but I supose you are this kind of student who yet has to learn what is work and creation and what it is to see your work stolen and what it is to work to get something


 Oh my God!  I have seen the light!  Your moral fortitude has converted me!  How could I forget about all those people working desk jobs in Hollywood!  I have now decided to stop donating to the charity organization  I am the president of that helps Chinese orphans (around $300-700 a year) and give it all to corporations who make the world a better place!  I will also stop working with my volunteer organization and get a job so that I can pay for all those products I have stolen!  I will never donate blood again either, and sell my blood to back street dealers so that I can buy of those beautiful optical discs wrapped in cellophane that gives my empty life a meaning.

Seriously dude, there are more important things than paying for your music.  Pirating music and movies in no way shape or form dictates my morality, although I do agree it is stealing.  I stole a potential sale though, I didn't walk into a store and steal something off the shelf.  I will not try to justify that piracy should be legal, whether or not it is "wrong" is debatable.  You are pathetic if you think not pirating music/movies makes you a better person than someone else.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
