How do you define "wealthy"?

Stealing from a millionaire that actually operates his or her own business is not the same thing as stealing from someone like Jeff Bezos who doesn't lift a fucking finger to contribute to the operation of the dozen or so businesses he owns.

You have to have nuance. Not everything is as simple as you made it sound.

And of course, they did go out of business. That's why they need welfare from the government now.

You should never pirate anything, that would be bad.

There are people who understand what I'm saying, and then there's the idiots that downvoted me on some of the comments I posted

physical media is a physical finite item. digital media can be copied infinitely

the reason why physical media is getting harder and harder to find is because the copyright nazis can't control it. If they want to memory-hole a scene, they can't change the content of that blu-ray disc with the original version on it

PIRACY IS WRONG AND IMMORAL! YOU SHOULD NEVER PIRATE ANYTHING! FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS PIRATE THINGS!

Stealing a physical item from a giant corporate store is also always morally acceptable.

not really, it makes the store lock everything up behind plexiglass creating more friction for paying customers too.

Of course, theft wouldn't happen nearly as much if no one was desperate the survive, but even then there'd still be entitled assholes that want even more.

I mean...if the movie is good you should support it. Vote with your wallet.

the DMCA doesn't protect the artists or any of the singers, it protects the shitty record labels and the money that the executives at those companies get

Would've been funnier with someone like....mike pompeo, or John Bolton

Someone who's a million times more evil

every AAA game in recent years sucks and most of them are scrapped before they're finished

Where's Saint Peter pulling the lever to send it to hell?

I thought vodka was made with potatoes.

It's a feast fit for royalty! ....To them

I hate those things.

Even when you do it correctly sometimes it won't accept it

time to look up some alternatives.

VLC's UI on windows hasn't changed much in over 10 years now. It definitely would benefit from a search function to quickly find certain settings to fine tune your expirience with it. But I sandbox all of my software, so no cache files or data it writes onto the drive I make it write to ever sticks around for very long.

Any time I need to open a link from a friend I copypaste the link into a sandboxed browser that doesn't have access to any of the shit going on in the other sandboxes instead of opening it rawdog into that same sandbox.

it used to be a peer reviewed scientific study that huge helpings of grains were good for you. Turns out the food pyramid was created by people who would benefit from the sales of grain-rich food full of sugar.

speaking of sugar, it used to be a peer reviewed study that fatty meat was bad for you, turns out that was written up by the sugar industry

They re-named it "Kodi" but a lot of the stuff in it doesn't work very well anymore

who the hell still uses windows media player? I use windows and everyone else I know who uses windows never opens WMP. We all have VLC for videos, but for the movies that we all totally pay for we use Kodi/XBMC or jellyfin

dot gov? That's propaganda.

The government is not your friend, it never was nor will it ever be

I don't think that's how it works.
