:P What DOES help is playing by the rules, by setting new standards, serving as a role model. And in the process good and talented artists suffer because piracy does not recognize innocence. Pirates are looking for new methods to distribute and get stuff, copyright owners in return demand rights that may hurt the average guy's piracy. "How dare he demand money from us for watching HIS work?!" *angry face* Last time I checked there was nothing evil about copyright - people just tell themselves so to feel better about themselves when they decide not to pay for something.Īlso, piracy is obviously not the right way to improve things - all it leads to is a ridiculous arms race. :P I'm still amazed that people are actually blaming the law. I love it when the democratic process is deemed a failure by the unhappy minority (or incompetent masses for that matter). Furthermore, the democratic process has consistently failed to change copyright laws for quite some time now. Starmaker: Generally speaking, there might be a positive correlation between pirating games and vigilante "justice", but the social benefit of cultural integration of social classes and nations* more than compensates for that. In this case, the burden of proof lies on the accuser.Īlternatively, we can keep the buzzword as "making a demand that I personally do not approve for personal reasons", in which case no proof is needed (not even internal consistency!), but then the claim is meaningless and irrational. Given that the word "entitled" has a negative connotation, I suggest "making a demand that, if met, will cause harm to society". To use a buzzword, it is necessary to provide it with a workable definition. for their favorite gaming site to release only the games they are personally interested in. to not be called a n****r (freedom of speech!) to not be called a dick (hello there, various countries where it's illegal to insult specific people) their daughter to marry someone they approve of (we fed, clothed and educated that ingrate, and she intends to bring shame on the family)
MCPIXEL DOWNLOAD FULL FREE FREE
for a free website to give notice if the management is planning to close shop and destroy users' data, and a means of rescuing said data (it was free! don't complain!) to organize an (illegal) gay pride event in the city center and not be punched in the face (why should honest cops risk their lives to protect those "amoral freaks"?) money for an expensive operation (there are children dying from hunger and the money is better spent to feed them, you selfish prick) to post about competing services on a commercial website to take a day off when their relative is sick food without human shit in it (serves you right for not reading online reviews) to worship their "wacky tribal god" (this country is culturally Orthodox Christian, YHWH or GTFO) free healthcare (should have saved for a rainy day, idiot)
a place to live if their apartment burned down (rent a room and sue the guilty party for the expenses, you hobo) medical compensation for a dislocated jaw from a person they bit (it's funny 'cause it's true!) official tech support for a game they didn't buy For example, people may be said to be "entitled" when they want: I get $7/hour and I would've bought a brand new rig long ago if not for unsafe wiring in the apartment, even though hardware costs more around here.Įntitlement is a buzzword, and as such it doesn't mean shit. *inb4 "how can poor people afford gaming rigs": by saving money, naturally, and buying refurbished (hardware is nonscarce).
Generally speaking, there might be a positive correlation between pirating games and vigilante "justice", but the social benefit of cultural integration of social classes and nations* more than compensates for that. For example, we know that armed citizens are notoriously bad at stopping criminals, but whistleblowers disregarding their NDAs are doing more good than harm. Taking the law into your hands is not necessarily bad in all cases. They should try to convince the majority of people that copyright must be changed. Trilarion: As I see it, the pirates/copyright infringers take the law into their own hands.
