Wow... just, wow. Really, do we need to comment on this? I'm just lost on words to describe how inhuman this is. This... wow.
I give. I can't come up with anything. There's nothing that could save this wo/man. Good luck to whoever you are, the world's a cruel place. You're on your own and we're not going to help you... at all.
Well, I got something to do the next time when I'm in New York. All I need is a soundtrack, some back-up dancers, and I'll be set to hit the subways and dancing to the end of the line.
Re: What about my freedom to create without being pirated?
OK, I'll be serious on this post, but bear in mind I'm going to comment on your title, not your confusing rant.
Now I believe that anyone can create something without being pirated. I got a plan that will involve selling my book in three different forms, one in digital form, and I'm planning on doing a free sampling of the first few chapters and offering the full version for a very cheap price. And I am considering doing a free event that will enable people to get a copy of my story for free, in either forms, just because I'm willing to try a different
And if I were to look at the word "piracy" as "the act of stealing something and claiming it as my own," then yes it would be a bad thing. But with everyone getting uptight that people are looking for something that they like for cheap, even free, and these corporations holding these items back because they aren't getting money... I don't know how to word it. I do like to get some money on my work, but I don't want to lock up my work and go suing innocent people of every last cent just because they want to read a new story. If I want to do that, I'll sue the big corporations you are apparently supporting.
I may have missed the point, but I tried to decipher whatever the freak you're saying. Please, for the love of God, add links and some examples to back your claims! It might make you appear smarter, but each time that you appear, your posts make us dumber from reading your rants!
After reading plenty of these stories over how incompetent our governments are when it comes to bills and acts like SOPA and ACTA, I'm wondering when it will come the time that we have to go with a "nuclear option." I keep thinking in my head that we might want to declare war on the governments, especially the US, who keep pressing on to get something pass to get them in control over what we do online. Really I seriously doubt declaring war is an option, even going black again is iffy, but I really believe that we should have some "nuclear option" in case we do get close to losing the Internet.
... OK, how do I flag this comment? I think the lot of us REALLY don't want to see this awful comment. And why am I bothering to talk to this person? It's... well, disgusting! Really, how can I flag this comment?
I don't believe that people who cut the cord are clueless about what they are doing, nor are they that impatient about getting their content. Just because they found something cheaper online that provides them what they want at that price as opposed to what cable and satellite is providing, then that doesn't mean they aren't that stupid, impatient or clueless.
And, just an example, with Viacom acting like a whining and crying spoiled brat for not getting any more money from DirectTV's costumers (when are they going to whine to Dish and everyone else about that?), many DTV subscribers might start looking for other sources to make up for the loss channels, which might include illegitimate methods. Viacom is driving away these viewers from their shows over their spoilage and they will continue their whining because they are the ones who made these people find other sources to fix their Viacom-related needs. Yes these other sources could be illegitimate sites, but if Viacom wants these people back (and I HIGHLY doubt that), they need to win them back by making an agreement with DTV and issuing out a deal that's fair with everyone. If they can't get everyone back, then they need to compete against these sites instead of playing the "Whining about Piracy" card they are overplaying.
I know I might be missing my point, but I will say this: you can't be clueless if you are thinking. The only way you can be clueless if you aren't listening or reading to everything. Now if you excuse me, I need to go get a pair of Kamina-styled "cool kid" glasses and log onto Facebook to chat about my awesome "piracy" lifestyle.
I think burn is an understatement. The AC just got roasted, fried, singed and burned to a crisp, leaving only a pile of day old ashes behind. ... And that's probably a bit much.
OK, that made some changes to my fiesta plans. How about this: everybody is invited, except for that SOLE ambassador who signed this.
... I'm really confused about this. Really I am. Can anyone explain why is this happening? Who is this man and how can we contact him? Someone give us answers!
I was thinking the same thing. Considering what Stewart said about Viacom during the SOPA blackout, I'm going to guess this is going to give the writers more material for the whole "biting the hand" humor.
Well it's definitely true that we may not have a thing against the House Judiciary Committee... it's that we have a thing against the people in the committee. It is those people who come in and join it for their own personal goals, instead of listening to the public, and collecting vast amount of money through different sources (one is the entertainment industry, for example).
Personally, I am one that don't look at things as bad ideas unless they were intended to be a bad idea. When you get human nature involve, things will go differently as planned and the results could be very different from what the person who created thought it would be. It's like saying the TSA "could" be a whole lot better at its job (and I'm using "could" loosely), but it all boils down to who is in charge and how things unfold in its run. It also differs from one person's point-of-view as well, especially when we are dealing with political bodies and the like (and we definitely are going to have various opinions on that alone).
So yes not of all of us hate the HJC... just those currently running it.
