That's interesting. In a way, screaming at pirates for copying your game is a bit like screaming at mouse wheels for not being supported by your program code.
darryl, I find your comment in this article very troubling. Seems like you're very angry, and maybe capable of committing some sort of violent crime. That makes you a threat, and a criminal and a run of the mill thug. Seems to me like you need to be jailed without bail.
Otherwise, if I say "my arm itches" and it didn't, it would be a felony.
So, the camera argument, unless they're looking for a camera that was used to bludgeon someone, how is lying about "you're being filmed" a felony, unless you're being investigated for some weird crime that involves not filming people.
Re: Re: Re: Window dressing to conceal shift from payoffs to coercion.
To paraphrase out_of_the_blue himself: "your problem is that you refuse to generalize."
Blue actually believes that generalizing gives us the right answer. Nuance is non-existent. You can't try things on a case by case basis. Rich people are bad because being rich makes them bad. Anyone who says "some rich people are bad" is an idiot for even considering the possibility of the existence of a non-bad rich person.
It's the same for everything. He probably doesn't like food, or likes all food. Because "some food is bad" wouldn't be generalizing, and blue won't accept anything except blanket statements and generalizing.
I say we start the official World Please Don't Eat Any Nut-based Chocolate Spread Today Or You'll Get Sued Day. We can put it in any arbitrary date, let's say, February 5th.

Re:
You have just given implied permission to Mike to publicly disclose your identity, if he is aware of it.
It is, after all, a requirement for "backing up the claim that you abuse the law for profit."
If you don't think so, we'll take it as "please, oh please don't back up your claim that I abuse the law for profit."
Thank you.
