Mike has stated over and over again the piracy is inevitable, and that business models based on selling content are pretty much "buggy whip" businesses. It would seem at that point while he isn't directly supporting piracy, he is telling anyone who is touched by piracy to get use to it, and that it is unavoidable in his mind.
You're right... Since Hollywood knows what's best for the rest of the world, let's call it what it really is. McCarthyism on steroids. Works for me.
He has cheered on groups such as TPB as they try to give the stiff middle finger to content producers, and has posted sad little notices when they lose legal battles.
Because they have nothing but links on their server from user generated content, or do you not understand what a magnet link is? Wait, don't answer that, I already know...
Mike has also made it clear that while the internet "knows no borders", that he supports groups which move from jurisdiction to jurisdiction looking for the safety of local laws, rather than being responsible for what is on their sites, accessible from other countries.
[citation needed] - But since you're trolling, we both know that won't happen will it?
Mike has also been in the forefront of the "a link isn't infringement" argument. That argument is that as long as you didn't actually commit the copyright violation yourself, you are fine to profit from it.
Excellent jump in logic. You should date Miko Miyazaki. You would do well until the inevitable showdown 10 minutes later. But I can't provide a link because it would be infringement. O NOES!
Do you honestly think his "sell the scarce" refrain would hold water if piracy wasn't rampant?
Ironic that you talk about water, when people still find a way to pay for bottled water. I guess those that collect rainwater are some kind of pirates for figuring out a way to buck the system. Those dang water collectors are killing the water industry!
"Here’s a pricing experiment – how about lowering your prices in the UK to match Amazon. Currently games on Steam are generally 50% to 300% more than they are Amazon, and even when games are 50% off on Steam they’re often still more expensive than Amazon. I never buy anything from Steam because of the high prices, and I expect that’s the same for many people in the UK and Europe."
You don't realize that the games on Steam go on sale, every day, do you?
Hmmm... Thought Marcus was before, but now it's up to me to keep the side alive. Funny. You do the same thing with no argument and obvious stupidity. Pity.
"Which one of your endless parade of links is that? "
It's called "click and find out" for yourself since it should be obvious.
"As a side note, "data from a commentary" is pretty much what i get on Techdirt."
Those are actual observations into the DVD market before and after legal channels are taken away, corresponding with the recent Envisional data that gave me my viewpoint of actually giving more legal channels (hint hint!) instead of more enforcement. Obviously, ignorance in these debates is your strong suit. You get an A+ for that.
I'm sure the numbers will go up in a few months as the Occupy Wall Street protest footage is put up.
Oakland, New York... The places that have a high number of police incidents might just decide to begin arresting the public based off the footage they collect. I wonder what will happen as the judicial branch begins to hear all of these cases.
