So... Mike's part of the Dotcom Pirates? You have any proof that Mike worked for Mega? You also have any proof that Dotcom is the true King, because if he is... no wait, asking him about where One Piece is isn't going to work...
"It's trivially easy to kill someone, yet the laws against murder serve as a deterrent."
It's also trivially easy to forget to buckle your seat belt and litter, yet there are laws in place to prevent people from littering and to have everyone in seat belts. ... What is your point in that? I don't kill because of the law, but for my own moral and ethical reasons; I do wear my seat belt for safety and practical reasons; I don't litter because of different reasons other than the law. My point: I don't do certain things because of the law. I do and don't do certain things because of personal reasons.
"And while many Techdirt readers are no doubt big time pirates who would have no trouble downloading infringing eBooks..."
Aaaand you lost potential customers for saying such things (not like you have any customers that we know of). Honestly, what you're saying in this paragraph is... I don't know how to word it, but I kinda get something. Yes competition isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean it's going to be equal. People want to get a good deal for cheap, and what better way to give away free stuff? If businesses want to get more customers, they need to come up with a better deal that could compete with free. And giving it out "against their wishes"? ... I have no idea how to answer to that.
"Where's the actual proof? You don't have it yet, and I suspect you never will."
I don't have to show it to you since all you will do is ignore it (just like this comment), and continue to believe that's no better option for me out there. In fact, if people do give you something, I'll be willing to check it out and use it to see if I can get started in bringing my stories to life, make some money, and have good quality stories out on the market for people to enjoy instead of being harass by publishers and people like you.
"... those of us who don't agree with Mike are really trying to avoid problems..."
Boy, that's a laugh. Sure one way to avoid problems is ignoring your kinds' comments, but the others here will point out the inconsistencies in your logic, kindly telling you that your views are flawed. 'Course you will try to get the last word in, attacking the commenters with insults, only trying to get personal information that could make you look like a better person in comparison.
I have a personal belief going for me, stating "if it's not a problem, don't make it one. If it is a problem, don't make it a BIG one." I don't find any problems with the stories, other than a few typos here and there, but I don't come here to bash the writers because my views are different from them. I like to read some articles that do catch my interest and skip over the ones that don't, all while checking out comments made by others and see if there's something worth interesting to me. However, when you come here, you come in expecting that the writer will take a moment of his personal time to discuss ideals/beliefs/morals/views/etc, when in reality you're trying to attack them for having different views, and collecting personal info so you can use that for more attacks all to make you look better in appearance.
If you have a problem with this site, then either calmly address your views and don't bash everyone that tries to talk to you, or (an easier thought) leave. Continue to comment here with this same pattern, and not only is it going to be hard to make you leave, but you're not going to be treated with any respect than... well, any of the other negative ACs that comment on this site.
The door is open; please kindly step out.
(P.S: is calling someone a "nerd" that bad of an insult?)
On one hand, I get to enjoy something that I might like and get 10,000 pounds (euros? Either way, I'm netting something in between $13,000 to $16,000) just for eating a bar of chocolate and getting the money from out of nowhere.
On the other, I'm eating a GPS tracking unit and being watched by a chocolate company, being followed by my every movement, waiting for the right moment to strike and terrify me. Plus I have to deal with the thing inside me for... a few days before nature kicks in, and also I'm curious on how that thing's going to taste if I were to eat it. Then again, since teeth are involve, would it be strong enough to resist the crushing of teeth and stomach acid?
... You're that same AC that told me to go die in a fire like a Buddhist monk, right?
If you are, then OK, I'm glad that you're providing something to this conversation! Mind telling us what you do for a willing and what you make so that way we can avoid you like the plague?
(laughing) That's funny, but no. Anyone can debate. Mike doesn't do it because he's busy doing other things more important than wasting time trying to argue with you over how you're right and he's wrong. He has a site to run and stories to look at and write. He has a life in the real world. Your life? Well it's pretty obvious what you do on a regular basis.
Anyone can debate, Joe. Mike doesn't want to do it because it is getting old trying to get any sense into you, plus he has other things to worry about instead of babysitting you and some other stupid trolls bugging him to "debate" with.
OK, I can tell you're bored and so am I (plus you're now fully degraded to a whiny brat of a troll). I'm going to call it quits and leave you alone. Any further posts you make should be ignored, because why are we wasting our time?
