It's quite simple really, in an ingenious, evil sort of way. Do the most minimalistic, low real value / high perception value thing that garners the most tax payer funding as well as continued industry "donations" thus ensuring the least amount of effort in attempting to solve the actual problem, continued future job prospects for those worthy and furthering a complete bullshit agenda of harassing the public in general. Bravo. All because some dickhead with control over a movie can't handle change and demands my money from every fucking direction conceivable.
If you're above it then, fuck you, so am I. You've proven its worth now why should I listen?
The DOJ is a fucking tool. ICE is, clearly, a fucking a tool.
I want to know who's doing the swinging. I want to know why and then I'm want them to eat cat poopies.
Just why does our money get used against us is so many different ways? Continental protection is cool but protection from myself? Fascist tendencies? What gives?
"So can we pretend I copy/pasted that same argument and move on?"
No, fuck no. What's so valuable about an ebook that renders slimepuppy's "because" statements not entirely valid? Much less renders any ebook of equal or (the fuck?) higher cost/value than a pbook (paper)?
I'm saying that the industry is using their power, control and influence to attempt to dictate a new reality. The industry is destructive in their devices. Destructive to much more than that which they'd like to simply hock (which is, as we've been made aware, simply just not the case as they wish full control over any possible means of any possible media entertainment delivery and distribution mechanisms which, quite simply, is just not. going. to happen.) You truly conceive arrogance as an alignment with destructive implications? If this is the case than you're delusional to the point of being funny. It's not arrogance. It is a concerted effort to manipulate.
Pirates do not equal all consumers yet all consumer are being affected. The industry is overreaching and inflating real impact vs perceived impact yet they would choose to attempt global impact at any imaginable price.
A pirates perception is reality. An industry perception is sandy with a healthy smattering of illusions of delusions of grandeur. Somewhere in the middle, as you would imply, there is a middle ground - a bitter pill if you will. The obligation is with the provider, not the consumer, to swallow it.
Patently false. Specifically "Neither side is willing to even search for any kind of middle ground".
The party of the first part, the studios, are all too willing to do completely away with any "middle ground" in a very concerted effort to continue to design access, means and control over, of and for the party of the second part, everyone else, with regard to "entertainment".
And they do this knowing full well that any materially competitive front on what is "their" traditional product turf is destroyed right along with it.
They are overtly polluting and corrupting governments of the world. This is not mere arrogance - these are the transgressions of a powerful and unified entity - behaviors well suited to meeting their ends on the ends of pitchforks.
"It's theirs and they can do whatever they want with it. You can't."
No, no they can not. This is a significant piece of the puzzle. The assertion that "they can do what they want with it" is no longer true. It is no longer "physically" true. Sure you have your historical precedent and theories of modern application based upon such but these are not present in current reality. If "their things" are digital they are, in fact, subject to infinite replication. This is the physical reality of digital media. If you can not understand and as such engage and re-tune control (as in accept a reality that certain heretofore provisions of control are no longer effective) than you must "force" control through government. And, here again, that will not be possible, will not be physically possible (e.g. impossible) as circumvention, digitally speaking, is already (e.g. presently, currently) underway of any and all current and future proposed law being chased down that is perceived to be able "re-grant" control of digital media. All presently known algorithms along these lines will return false.
Historical media monopolies must engage. As global populaces further their insight and knowledge and continue to elbow into the traditional realms of government (behind the scenes backdoor crony politics) the chances of a favorable outcome (to all vested parties) exponentially decreases. Yet another genie that will never again see the inside of a bottle.
From the venerable Benjamin Franklin a quote worth of our current predicament:
The point - Agent Dick - is that the content is there, it's available, it's accessible, it's easy. Now why the fuck should we care about your concept of ethics if the true sponsors of the content can't (which is: refuse) to deliver in like fashion? Because you "said" so? Wake the fuck up - it's not about you and it's definitely not about ethics.
sincerely - the rest of the world (if I may be so bold)
Is it just me or what the fuck is so hard about setting up a, wait for it, stake out? Pinch the lines, wait for a message and trace every connection in the window? Clearly they had a warrant - all warrant and no fucking brains.. brilliant, I feel so.. what's the word? Safe. That's it.
They just wrecked the best possible chance of actually catching some perps because they got a badge and they're gonna use it?
Oh and fuck everybody else. SOP, move along. Free this.
Isn't this a natural progression of intelligence gathering? To gain as much as possible from anywhere possible so as to properly gauge bellicose mutterings, transgressions and overt attacks? There is no "illegal" when the security of nations is at stake is there? Rights? I should think not, not truly. Protect against those who would choose to do you harm regardless of whether they are choosing to do so now or, possibly, later.
Governments are protecting themselves from you. Why might that be?
What better way to shore up protections? Fear. Every bleepin thing you've ever passed or will pass on the wire neatly cataloged. All of your travels and transactions, cataloged. Quite the deterrent that. If you were to ask me I'd say that there are folks that are afraid, very afraid.
Shut up, go to work and pay your taxes.
Encrypt and carry a big stick. Or, simply, live and die knowing that something, somewhere is not quite right.
