You know, it's not a bad idea, but you had to add that "special" touch, don't ya?
Then again, why bother? Look I do like Mr. Khanna maybe writing a few articles, but really? Do you have to go and say Mike works for Google? *smacks head* Why do I feel like our society is falling into stupidity faster than I fear?
Re: Re: Re: "Free speech stops at the office door."
Yeah... considering all the talk you've been saying the past few weeks, I can guess which side you're on...
But with everything, your spelling is awesome!
So, you want to focus on the morality of who owns creations? Hey Blue, focus on morality! I'm a Creator, so give a crap about me! I surely don't give a crap that you're following me!
Re: Mike always sides with pirates. That's a fact.
OK, so you did read the articles... but yet that ONE line is the one you say "he supports piracy!"
Hang on, let me go find something to hit my head with... oh wait, I got a convenient desk here... *smacks head*
Hang on... are you Blue or are you bob? But then, who's morally right and how? Of course Mike never argues about the moral aspect because that would go against what this site is about! The idea is that this is supposed to be a unbiased view on the world of technology and copyright, while bringing in things that are related to it. This is also an opinion blog, which clearly you're against! However, his opinion is that he's not in favor of piracy but admits that it's still going to be around no matter how hard anyone tries to get rid of it.
You people, on the other hand, would take this, twist it up, and present it to say that he's in favor and wants to do everything he can to keep it prolonging. That's utter bullcrap! Mike has gone on record hundreds of times already about this and we repeatedly keep telling you that, but all of you downright refuse to believe this and keep pushing forth this silly belief that you want to have a "honest and frank discussion" and have Mike answer all your loaded questions, when in reality you're going to bash him straight down into the ground and laugh at him for being so immorally inferior.
Opinions can be biased. Opinions can be unbiased. TechDirt is an unbiased site. You want an biased answer for a personal attack to take you look morally superior while we look like trash.
Your thought that one line is proof that Mike is pro-piracy. Blue, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of articles on this site alone that says Mike is not in favor of piracy but doesn't deny it existing. You and your "friends" will continue this masked delusion that you'll eventually find that holy grail that'll solidify Mike's position on loving piracy.
Or maybe a constitutional amendment... either way, what I'm suggesting is that no business should go to the government and demand that they force another business to go out for any particular reason.
But that's highly unlikely, am I right? Can a boy dream that we don't have industries like the MPAA going after smaller businesses with the government in tow and breaking laws at the same time, all while trying to keep this shiny white exterior that people know it's cold, black and murky on the inside?
... Again, this is why no one likes you, Blue. You come in, say your crazy comment, people come in, argue that you're crazy, and flag down your comment.
Perhaps you need to take a break away from the computer. You really need to get a life, girl/boyfriend, job, car, house, pet, food, water, surgery, medicine, clothes, logic, sanity, decency, common sense, am I missing something?
And please do leave that link out; it serves no purpose, you troll!
Um... can I ask: how is this any different from one of the usual trolls that come on to this site and throws a whole discussion out of the window?
Now I'm not going to speak for Wally, but let the guy be. Sure I don't like Apple and that's my personal preference. I'm not going to go bashing him every time he brings up his computer or any other products he owns from Apple. Just because he has said product doesn't mean that he's a fan boy of them.
I don't find this to be a big deal, but yet you do. Again I personally don't like Apple, but I don't go bashing him for it if he brings his computer up. Sheesh and I though the others were going off-topic...
Really Blue, this is one out of many comments you made WHY people don't listen to your bat-crap crazy comments. You take one opportunity to come in and be anonymous, hijacking the threads to where people are incline to comment to you and then have them hit the report button to cover up your personal attack and otherwise nonsensical response.
You really could have potential to be taken seriously on here, but yet you have to go and attack Mike and everyone else because he doesn't match your viewpoints and you want to feel morally superior to a guy who has a life outside of posting stories on the Internet. It's really sad and pathetic that you of all people just stay here with your finger hovering over the F5 button and constantly hitting that button to refresh the page, just so that when a new story pops up, you have to make a comment on it and be closer to the top.
First off, hardly any one of us gives a crap about your comments. Sure you do have a few bits of logic hidden deep in there, but they're littered with attacks towards this site. No one's going to take you seriously if you're going to behave like a toddler throwing a tantrum. You try to sound like you're supporting us, but everybody can see that you're really trying to get in and bring everyone down while placing yourself on top. It's not going to work.
Second, let's make this clear: what proof do you have that says what Mega did was immoral and was profiting off infringing? I know you don't have it and even then, you're not going to show it to us. Now I do get that people do have personal preferences when it comes to businesses, but it's utter crap to believe that storing files online is immoral and then go on to say that those files are infringing! It was an legitimate business and it was unlawfully shut down because someone believed that Mega was making money off of these "infringing" files when artists were using it as a different means of getting their products out.
Sure you may question whether or not Mega was immoral. The real question is what our governments did was the moral thing or not? Well is it?
And here's another thing: I believe I told you (or someone else) that the Internet is huge. There's much more to it than Google. Why don't you go off on a tangent about Microsoft or Yahoo! or someone else that isn't Google? At least it's something different than constantly
Finally, I know you like to use a certain word, but now it's time for me to say this line to you: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Internet, Blue. Get off TechDirt. Use Bing. Look up a thesaurus. Type in "grifter" and check to see what other words that are available. Got it?
Good day to you Blue. We'll talk in another article...
Re: Re: Re: And then they get your browsing history from Google.
Well I do agree with you on your thoughts, but there are times where I can't seem to find a good response to his shenanigans and when it's time to say "you know, you're really getting annoying."
True that is his nature (much like the others that come here) to get the attention of others and have them comment, basically throwing the whole discussion off. And I do enjoy reading the responses to the original comment due to that the responses are insightful and funny.
I guess I wasn't in the mood to riff on Blue's comment. It's early (at least where I am) and he's busy away hogging for attention. If anything if I find something useful to work with I'll be happy to comment on it.
How is it that when I read this, I get this voice shouting "CHANGE!" in the back of my head, dressed in a beige coat, orange knit hat and long black hair? Also he's jumping all over the place and somehow mentioned one time when he got boots and hid them somewhere no one can find them.
Hey, not everybody wants to kill for your luxurious lifestyle! And please, what gives you the right to talk like that? ... Well, I'll be getting a dumb answer outta that.
I see it as a giant wall of text. At least some of the other trolls have the decency to make breaks. It really makes it more confusing just searching through it to find points to rip apart.
