  • Oh please. Someone like him raking in the money, money can guarantee better service than average joe’s pull. Let’s not kid ourselves here. I’m actually astounded to know how much there is a divide here in the comments, where people are actually defending the rich one here.

    And here I thought piracy was for the people that couldn’t afford these luxuries on a daily basis. Piracy being for people that simply, by choice, don’t want to bother with the legal alternative because of the questionable practices in play. Piracy being for people that just simply are locked out and have had their consumer rights stomped on all the way.

    Why are we drawing the lines of exception here between a dude that pulls a million a year. That’s like the antithesis of the concept of piracy. He’s earning $83,000 a month, that’s a lot more than an average joe makes in an entire year’s worth of their salary.

    You’re defending the 1% and that’s just wrong on so many angles when it comes to piracy.





  • Supreme Court is going to uphold it, watch. The Supreme Court isn’t really a viable source of decision making when it comes to these things.

    "The major record labels, including Sony and Universal, want the Supreme Court to take a closer look at the “profit motive”. They asked the Court to consider whether an ISP must profit directly from the infringement itself, or if profiting from the overall operation in which the infringement occurs is enough. "

    This is really just straight up bullying. Because, Sony and Universal for years have targeted pirates who they know are pirating and knew of the sources. They know the difference, it’s just they want more people to do their dirty work for them.

    To support this argument, the music companies cited the dance hall cases, in which courts have held that the owners of venues can be held liable for copyright infringement committed by performers they hire.

    The petition further cited the Supreme Court’s holding in Herbert v. Shanley Co. that a hotel could be held liable for the infringing performance of an orchestra it employed. The Court concluded that the hotel profited from the performance, even though visitors only paid for their meal, not the music.

    Fucking dumb logic.

    "“That would imperil the livelihoods, safety, and social connections of a massive universe of downstream users who rely on internet connections to run businesses, pay bills, apply to jobs, read the news, connect with friends and family, petition their representatives, and attend school.” "

    True. But “muh muneh” are all that these studios care about.










  • I’m just worried that whoever has control will have some devious thoughts and just start misleading people into thinking they can’t get accounts back or they might’ve deleted it. Something. I’m really concerned about these turn of events for IA right now.

    They could just decide one day to delete everything if they want to, if they feel what they have is not valuable enough from the previous breach.



  • Edit: Auto-Blocking Unreasonable people. I told you, all that they have is emotional responses and think spamming labels is what makes them right. It doesn’t. Just makes you a broken record.

    I’m going to take a hit but I don’t care because I really have been talking to someone about this. Everyone is okay with immigration, until they have faced or been in situations where someone from another country is hired over someone who was naturally born in a country. Everyone is okay with immigration until a migrant is housed over someone who is naturally born.

    I have my problems with immigration. I don’t necessarily blame the individuals, well, some of them because some of the migrants I’ve come across have been quite socially unaware and absolutely refuse to like adapt to the atmosphere of the country they migrated to. And it can be frustrating to deal with. It’s not entirely their fault that businesses seem to see them as just labor fodder as well as the government sees them as economic fodder.

    It’s an issue that needs to be discussed and addressed. People don’t want to talk about it because they resort to just brandishing people as xenophobic. But I bet you may have a change of mind if you ever come across a couple of the scenarios I’ve exampled. We have problems in our country when it comes to the homeless, to the veterans and to the poor. I think it is absolutely unfair and unwarranted to prioritize thousands of migrants who come here over all of them.

    That is where I think the agreement is coming from. I don’t agree with Trump’s way of handling it (then again every “solution” he comes up with is incredibly extremist and impossible to pull off, especially if it’s coming from him.) I don’t agree also to have open borders either.

    We need to sit down and analyze the immigration policy closely, that has been broken for years. Why the hell have we not had a single politician yet that is running for presidency that has a solution by now? For christ sake.

    If we continue to not fix this problem, America just going to be weighed down the same way Canada got weighed down. The same way some parts of the EU got weighed down. America is just going to follow suit.

    But all we can say is “ugh, you so xenophobic” or “ugh, we’re all immigrants!”.

    Come on people, let’s be adults and actually address the issue to fix it, huh?
