Then rather than being a fucking asshole with insults, why didnt you try to let TD know their error?
Because ya know, they NEVER update articles when corrected. /s
Who the fuck cares except gun nuts? I have quite a few myself.
To my fellow TD community. An assault rifle is classified by having 5 distinctive features:
1) Must be able to be fired from the shoulder
2) Must have the ability to switch from fully automatic to semi
3) It has more power than a handgun but less than a standard rifle.
4) Its ammo must come from a magazine that is removable
5) Should have a range of 1000 ft.
There asshole see how easy that was?
It is mean and scary and can kill a hole bunch of shit quickly.
Ive told this story before and I feel you would benefit from me repeating it for you.
I have a co-worker that downloads everything. I mean everything. Movies, TV shows, books, games, and music. He has so much that he could never consume it all in his lifetime. I liken it to a hoarding mentality. He also spends quite a lot of money buying the above mentioned items as well. He has it, but never could watch it all and most certainly couldn't have afforded it all.
Lets go all tree falls in the woods:
If it is downloaded and never watched/listened to/played, it is infringement? How is it a lost sale if he never would have purchased it anyway? If anything all the populace is a lost sale. Unless you sold 7billion the rest are all lost sales. The trick is to get them to buy. Provide them with a quality product at a fair price followed up with great service, and it is a no brainier. We have yet to see any service like this come from the copyright owners. They just expect everyone else to provide these services and pay out the ass for the privilege of doing so. Talk about freetards, they take the cake.
I have the same fixation with free porn. I have so much porn I could never watch/see it all. But I still download and save it. Why? Well in the beginning it was the personal belief that all the porn out there would be legislated away, and made illegal. So I wanted to make sure I had plenty of it. But now I think I do it because its everywhere, free, and just so damn easy.
Thats the key there AC. Even if I had to pay a monthly sum, as long as it was fairly priced, everywhere, and so damn easy, I wouldnt mind. But right now its fractured cumbersome and expensive. If I had to subscribe to every P site I liked, I would be that 44 year old guy in his moms basement because my whole salary would go to P. Same thing goes with movies and music.
"Most people want it, and want it bad - that's why it's so wildly pirated." Then why do the labels make it so hard to get it? Why do they strangle every service (free to them fucking unappreciative freeterds) that helps them distribute their product? Its asinine.
Re: Trolling isn't a joke-- you're just denying people disagree
"As someone who is repeated accused of being a troll simply for defending a different opinion"
No boB, its not because you have a different opinion, its because you are batshit crazy and some of the shit that comes out of your mouth is sooooo far out of reality it appears, to humans with normal id's, that you must be fucking around.
Now.... we all have done it. We all have been a troll at one time or another. Its fun to fuck around sometimes. But you... you are consistently outta this world with your comments.
This comment was a well thought out one. Probably one of your best.
" I want creators to have the freedom to control their work and not have it snatched by a mob." - Sooo close boB. See batshit crazy. No one "snatches" it away. There is no mob. This is why you get called a troll. No seriously boB.
There is no gang of ppl with pitchforks and torches running around to content creators snatching their works from them.
"I spend my time here typing away because the issues are important enough to me." - Us too. Difference is we base our opinions on facts whereas you base it on shoulda, coulda, and feelings.
"So no, it's not a practical joke."
I dont agree either. When I troll, I know I am being an asshole. Sometimes PPL just dont deserve my time, but deserve to be fucked with. People are assholes... period.
Everyone has it in them.
See ya boB. I had more but gotta go back to work.
I am not joking when I say you are batshit crazy. I really mean it.
Lemme bust down your door with 30-40 of my friends, terrorize your family, destroy your property, beat you, and just for shits and giggles I will kick your dog.
What is it you have done that deserves such treatment?
Must be a child molester or murderer; right?
Ohhh I ran a website the may or may not be involved in copyright infringement. Ohhhh nooooossssss!!!!!!
Give him death.
"It's just whining." - I know but i answered you anyway.

So to blame Tim for not knowing is asinine. Not everyone has in depth knowledge of firearms.
Just because it is not fully automatic and switchable has nothing to do with the average Joe's perception. It looks like a duck.
Either its semantics so you can be an ass toward Tim.

Re: Re:

DRM.
If I have to buy DRM laden crap, i don't want to spend more than 20 bucks on it.
Just bought new in packaging but from ebay:
Max Payne 3 (PC, 2012) - $31.99
Deus Ex Invisible War - $10.99
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - 16.98
Take the always on DRM out of the mix and I will gladly pay 40-50 again.
If there is a chance I wont be able to play my games 5 years down the road you are not worth more than 20 bucks a pop.
I AM A PAYING CUSTOMER.
