People today seem to think that this is something new. The only "new" in all of this is the instantaneous aspect of transmitting information. These types of acts have been perpetrated in other wars since man picked up his first sticks and stones. To be amazed that this actual happened is nothing more than the true disconnect that people; in general, have with reality as a whole.

we're not attempting to coerce people into buying a new device!

several people should be banned from driving! Unfortunately, passing a test is the extent of competence for most drivers and even with that, some barely make it.

Type (vice write!) several letters, tape (vice lick!) the envelopes closed, use stick-on stamps and send them out to the company, the FBI, the investors and several different news agencies. Include what the problem is and how it is accomplished. No handwriting analysis evidence nor any DNA evidence... job accomplished. Preferably, mail from a different city as well to throw the scent off.

Not sure how it is that they simply throw that out. Though I do not pirate games, one of the things that chaps my hide is that a game cost $50-$60 upon release via S.T.E.A.M. or any other digital-only avenue still. Why is it that a digital-only version costs as much as brick-n-mortar version? There is no shipping, packaging, burning, printing, etc. involved yet the pricing is the same. Add to that, a majority of the games are soon in the bargain basement lot on the digital download sites within a few weeks. I refuse to buy a game immediately upon release any long due to this and the initial pricing garbage now. These companies continue to believe that their bottom line must be met through breaking our wallets even though studies to the contrary have shown this to be completely unnecessary. Better pricing along with a better supply channel is how to win the hearts of almost all players. To be sure, some people that pirate will never purchase a legitimate release but then again, they were never the true market anyway. Their road is set in stone, as they say.

typically biased essay, nothing to see here.

where's ANONYMOUS when we really need them?!

it had nothing to do with the Qwikster debacle at all. It had to do with having to deal with the whole 1 movie out of a series made available for streaming and only being able to view the rest of the movies thru renting the DVDs. A lot of the times it happened to be that the first movie was only available via DVD, the second could be streamed and the next was again only available via DVD and so on. The whole behind-the-scenes scheming of the movie industry and their greedy paws in the mix was the final nail in this coffin. And they wonder why some people prefer to pirate instead of using legitimate outlets... isn't greed wonderful?! Completely asinine that I can rent movies all the day long in DVD format but streaming is a crap shoot. Tired of the headache so I got rid of my headache and went back to the old fashioned movie viewing experience; renting DVDs again.

talk about Back to the Past!

The "Opt-in" and "Opt-out" once again is setup backwards!

Why is it that people should have to "Opt-in" for a standard. This is why society is so confused today. There's
no rhyme nor reason to that which corporations do things anymore; their norm is to be abnormal it seems! To
do things ass-backwards has become SOP.

Never used Bing.

Isn't this similar to what Google is being sued over? Though Google didn't make it publicly available and came forth stating they goofed, they still are in court over the WiFi info collection incident. Where do we sign up for the Class Action against M$?!

let's dump more garbage into our oceans. Its not like they're struggling to survive against the onslaught of man already!

Bill Gates is laughing his ass off right now!

as soon as they changed the station name to SyFy... the person that first thought that idea up and then the one that made the decision to let it happen should both be stuffed into a space capsule and shot off into the bowels of space!
