Are these pricks going to give tax payers their 3 trillion back? ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ From ED TV (1999) I feel that Ed (TV) is the apotheosis of a prevailing American syndrome. It used to be that someone became famous because they were special. Now people are considered special just for being famous. Fame, itself, is now a moral good in this country. It's its own virtue. |

So is all the tax money they plan to take from us and "share the wealth" with those who have not earned or created any of it like the illegals he and his boss want to give amnesty to. |

Yeah they sent me a 13.00 check for over thousands of discs purchased as a teenager and young adult. They owe me to this day thousands. The Sony DRM cd's caused damage to my computer that I had to have repaired. It is theft! |

The Sony DRM cd's caused damage to my computer that I had to have repaired. It is theft! Indeed. And when that CD becomes corrupted, can you send it back and get a free replacement? Pah, they are the thieves, and they've had it coming for a very long time. "It's an inter-dimensional intrusion into flatland," said the vicar to the choir boy. |

The definition of theft requires that the owner is deprived of the object. Copying a CD does not stop the owner from still having the CD. Theft would be breaking into a music company and stealing the master tapes, or shoplifting a CD from a store. |

Completely agree, but according to the industries, copying that CD to your iPod or other device is illegal. Apparently you have to buy the CD again and again and again and again, just to support these lazy arse execs sat in their lovely shiny offices and doing fuck all. Gotta go to work, hope this thread survives the page 1 onslaught. :) Last Edited by Chapman_Baxter on 06/23/2010 03:45 AM "It's an inter-dimensional intrusion into flatland," said the vicar to the choir boy. |

User ID: 1012493 United Kingdom 06/23/2010 03:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ah well, maybe it's time to go back to the good ole' days when I had a Revox 7½ inch reel to reel, Quad amps and a Studio Monitor. Never had no problems and good sounds too. Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. Jer 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman]. STOCK UP NOW. You should have at least 6 months worth of basics for every member of your household. Stay away from crowds when trouble starts, do not forget water storage, tobacco is worth more than gold or silver, and be kind to hungry children. |

User ID: 840464 United Kingdom 06/23/2010 05:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think I do agree mostly that piracy is theft. Imagine if you wrote the lyrics to a good song, and then later found out that several major bands had somehow got hold of the lyrics and were making millions from the song while you remained penniless. Would you feel you had been 'ripped off', since you put in the effort into creating the song? The chariots of God are tens of thousands, and thousands of thousands. |

YEAH Or you steal some 3D animation of an elephant on a trampoline and then post stupid shit behind that persons creative work! Did you make that animation? I doubt it. Does the creator of it agree with your 99% stupid an banal comments posted from behind it? How cheap are cameras? How cheap are lights? How cheap is a Mac editing system? Fuck off Hollywood! No really and truly and complete, Hollywood and GLP shilltards: FOAD ASAP! Thanks! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1004602 United States 06/26/2010 11:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why did "Rolling Stone" magazine choose to disrput our war effort? Why is Joe Biden suddenyl engaged with the enemy he feels is most important? As in the Rolling Stone article, I am wondering, "Who?" Who does this VP think he is? Doesn't he know that office is discredited by previous occupants? It is flawed, by design. FACT. Whereas a modern General, has more street cred, no doubt about that. Even a trashy rag mag has more cred than this guy. This is his enemy? Some family downloading Nemo? FUCK THAT SHIT! Don't tell me I don't understand how complex it is, because Walt Disney COULD NOT DRAW SHIT to save his life. He employed animators just like now his corporate issuance employs 3D mouse-clickers. Ha ha! I mean really, do they think that only they can do 3D? Do all the admins and managers feel that that are actually CREATING something? There is a dearth of creativity on Earth, but what they do is SHAPE it, not invoke it. The whole entertainment industry supports "jobs" that pay +100k per year to assheads who don't deserve minimum wage. The films they make are mostly shit. They make ten shits in the hopes that one will be a blockbuster --BUT SO LONG as certain topics are never touched, it is all good. Regulating the herd, is the goal, and our Veep knows that. Personally I thought the Rolling Stone hitpiece was historic. Who know a rag mag and some fluffed up 3D moviemaking company could drive America off a cliff? But here it is, all laid out for us. |
