Comment what about basic necesities? (Score 1) 101

Oh dear, heaven forbid a few ultra rich individuals be deprived of a few cents per "stolen" song. The 4,000,000,000 people that go to bed hungry every night wouldn't need any of it anyhow. And as for the US becoming "fascist", give me a break. Go live in Cuba or Venezuela for the real deal. Although things can change, and they have, this is still a country with a constitution protecting more freedoms then most countries around the world.

Oh sure, that has nothing to do with this discussion, right? Time = money. Money makes the world tick. We are all wasting our personal time debating this, and the government we pay taxes to is wasting time and our hard earned money debating this. Now to protect ourselves from unrighteous evil discrimination of our privacy, we'll have to waste even more of our precious personal time. In the end, the cost to humanity is ridiculous. Screw the entertainment industry, who needs it anyway?

Music and entertainment has its place, but is it worth all of this? It most certainly isn't worth the loss of privacy we are all faced with. Anyhow, there are several ways around all of this mess. Problem is, most of us are just too damn lazy (and cheap) to do anything about it.

Lack of sleep is definitely taking its toll... my writing has been quite incoherent. To sum up:
(1) stop sharing someone else's hard work for free?! How would you like it if people could share your paycheck on line? (not that I agree with how much is charged for their "art", but it IS illegal)
(2) find a more economic way of legally acquiring the music you like (used cd shops, ppd, etc)
(3) go live in a country where you can acquire/provide pirated material without consequence
(4) get to bed, and stop wasting time on this issue!

So there you go. 4 steps to successfully avoiding incrimination. I'm going to apply step 4, ciao.
