    Businesses aren’t implored to be less shitty or charge you less. Businesses are implored to upheave whatever avenue you use to steal possible profit. When Businesses hear everyone is pirating again they aren’t going to lower their prices or increase their service value. They are going to give pirates the shift.

    Read between the lines. If you want to continue pirating don’t talk about it online. If you want them to feel it in their wallet, don’t talk about it.

      After napster there was torrenting and after torrenting there was torrenting with VPN and All the while there was USENET… There will always be a way. Don’t worry.

          My point is that it’s an unstoppable force created by their greed and forced by their hand. In theis case, capitalism has done a shitty job of providing this service and that they’ve created a whole alternative ecosystem.

          This latest bullshit is just the cherry on top.

          The way I see it, we could do this or we could create laws against how they’re doing that. Get regulation passed, organize, and have class actions against them until balance is achieved.

            I would wager the capitalists with billions of dollars have a bit easier time passing legislation than any of us commoners do.

            They are the force.

            I’m just saying if everyone that steals from Walmart then goes online to tell everyone that they stole, and everyone pats them on the back, don’t be so surprised when Walmart invests to have officers guarding the exit, and pushes some mandatory minimum sentences to make shoplifting harder and riskier.

              You’re right. They do. Unless we act as one.

                In the mean time we should probably agree to not talk about committing crimes on the Internet eh?

                  I’m talking about pooling money and hiring our own lobbyists. That should be illegal, but since it’s not, we should leverage it.

                  This is not fight club. I’m absolutely not talking about anything criminal.

                  Thanks for the good laugh though.
