Think about it, guys… this is a chance to do something for once, instead of just sitting around b&#@hing about the injustice of it all. Don’t just post “Yay”, don’t waste your time responding to MAFIAA trolls, make something happen! (^_^)

Man you had me ROFLMAO with your absofuckinglutely wicked post! If I had need of a writer that can take apart an **AA argument or any form of propaganda I’d most certainly put you at the top of my list! :-)

“Ripping of an albumn or film because you disagree with the hollywood film industry is theft.”

No it isn’t, fool.

For something to be theft it needs to, y’know… Involve theft.

Ripping an album or film doesn’t involve theft, which means it seriously fails to qualify as theft.

That is obvious. But even the most obvious of things need to be explained to you, apparently. Will this be enough to get it through your thick head or do I have to literally draw a diagram next?

Remember when phone companies tried to kill VOIP? When newspapers scoffed at blogs? How’d that work out? Technology, like nature, always finds a way.

Sry about feeding the troll but I’ve known good Americans and they don’t deserve the fame their govt has built for them.

You know how it’s really easy to tell you’re a hired MAFIAA shill?

Because you conveniently ignore the existence of such things as freeware and non-commercial creative commons, because they completely destroy your myth that nobody would make movies or music or videogames anymore if they could all be obtained for free.

In reality, it’s only the greedy and artless whores that are only in it for the money who’d quit making movies, videogames, music etc, and good riddence to them.

Everybody else?

If they need(NEED being the operative word, as opposed to WANT) money, then they can be easily supported through donations or by pricing their work in the $1 and under range. And before you try to claim that prices that low don’t work let me just say iTUNES AND APP STORE, BITCH.

Also, before you claim donations don’t work either, PIONEER ONE.

Oh yeah… And there’s another simple way to tell you’re a paid MAFIAA puppet: You keep regurgitating the baldfaced lie that filesharing is stealing no matter how many times it’s explained that it isn’t.

You see, stealing requires that Object A is unwillfully taken away from Person A by Person B.

Filesharing is the process of Person B creating a perfect duplicate of Object A and then TAKING THE DUPLICATE. Object A remains in Person A’s possession at all times – it’s never taken away from them. That’s why filesharing fails to be stealing, because it involves no stealing whatsoever.

Gee, who woulda thought?

“Besides, if you pay for entertainment all that money goes straight to fat cat executives, right? I mean, its not like those industries employ tens of thousands of middle-income wage earners for everyone super rich guy.”

Besides, if you pay for Abercrombie & Fitch all that money goes straight to fat cat sweatshop owners, right? I mean, it’s not like the sweatshop industry employs tens of thousands of impoverished wage earners for every super rich guy.

So let’s support sweatshops, people! Boycotting them is wrong because you’re just taking peoples’ jobs away.

…Yeah, your logic is just flawless, isn’t it?

But even if your logic wasn’t broken, it wouldn’t matter. Those tens of thousands of middle-income wage earners you’re talking about are parastic leeches every bit as much as the super rich guys are. The only thing that makes seperates them is that they’re lower down on the copyright cartel’s totempole.

Should the Gambino crime family be allowed to keep operating because of all those poor low-ranking thugs they’re providing jobs to?

Sorry, no.

“The very fact that Sweden let’s the Pirate Party run for parliament …”

It’s called DEMOCRACY, a concept you’re clearly unfamiliar with.

Or maybe you ARE familiar with democracy, but you just really hate it?
