“Telling me to get over people stealing from me makes you an asshole. Period..”

I seriously doubt I have ever downloaded any creation you had anything to do with, so you calling me a thief isn’t just erronous but most likely just guilt-by-association.

Then again since you seem to think that the fact that someone is downloading material you have created gives you moral grounds for defending circumventing MY civic rights then you and your opinion in my eyes exist only for the purpose of being ignored or trampled.

I’ll give you a hint. If i after listening to an artist decide i like the works of that artist then i usually buy a CD. If not for me then as a handy birthday gift to friends or family. That applies whether i heard the music from the radio or from a downloaded mp3.

However i do make exceptions for every lame prick who dares calling me a thief because someone might or might not have shared their music with others. as a general rule those artists all end up on my personal blacklist and i neither download nor buy their works. Idiots like that aren’t worth even my eyeball time.

And no, my job involves being able to think around the problems too complex for everyone else to solve. I’m the one taking paper bags off everyone elses heads.

Unfortunately there’s crap-all I can do about people who insist on keeping their own heads wedged up their rear entrance – such as you. I can only recommend a prompt visit to your neighbourhood proctologist.

We do get the point you’re trying to make. But you’re not doing a good job of it. I suggest you refine your arguments before you present them. Otherwise you come off as relatively angry. Like a child throwing a tantrum. You don’t want that, it’s beneath you. You can do better.

You’ve obviously never heard of television or radio. Or Pandora. Or Youtube. Or libraries. People don’t pay for any of those things. Guess what we get from them? Music, films, shows, books, etc. WITHOUT PAYING FOR THEM.

Thinking you deserve to get paid just because you created something makes you an asshole. Just because you create something DOES NOT guarantee you will be a success and make money from it. You have a right to having your copyrighted/patented creations protected. But there is no guarantee you’ll make money from it.

You speak, as if you’ve been personally stolen from. But I’ve never heard of any music or film or anything created by an “Ivanpowers” or an “Ivan Powers” or any variation thereof. All we have is your word that you’re being stolen from.

And regardless of what you think, file sharing is not a crime everywhere. So you can throw your temper tantrum and b*tch all you want, but you aren’t in charge of any country. You don’t make any laws. You can’t enforce any laws. Etc. So you can just get the f*ck over it. What you think or believe matters very little to nothing at all.

Also, yeah most people have jobs. And most people tend to be sheeple. Easy to get to believe what you want, people who do as they’re told, etc. But as is evident, most of the people on this site do not fall into that grouping. Most people here are independent thinkers and obviously are more informed about the issues (in regards to copyright and file sharing at least) than the average person. Which means they can think their way out of a paper bag.

Your argument, however, loses all credibility when you resort to calling people asshole or a low quality person. You see, you try and claim the moral high ground and then you use words/phrases like that and pretty much shoot yourself in the foot. What it comes down to is be logical and reasonable and respectful, even if the people you talk to aren’t. If you want people to care about what you have to say act like an adult.

As I’ve pointed out a few times in the past few days, “artists” (and I’m lumping you in that category, despite the fact that I personally seriously doubt you are an artist of any kind at all) feel this huge entitlement. “I created something, I should be famous and rich and wre wre wre.” That’s not the case. You assume people are stealing from you. Do you have any proof they are? Or perhaps, and as is more likely, did you just fail in your artistic venture? And rather than admit your own personal shortcomings (such as having little to no talent, jumping into an already over saturated market depending on what you produce, having no business sense, etc.) you decide to take the easy way out (and perhaps better said, the more cowardly way out) and blame others for your failure. Man up. Accept responsibility for your own failures/successes. Learn from them. Otherwise, it’ll just happen again. And blaming others is a real a$$hole move. Period.

Nothing ever matters.. There’s no value in anything. Nothing is ever your problem. You didn’t “do” anything, you just down loaded a file..

I don’t doubt you have a job.. Lots and lots of people have jobs, and still can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag.. This comes down to YOU being a “LOW QUALITY” person.. Period..

Have a below average day..;
