  • “The problem with sites that extract text from movies and other content is that they reduce people’s desire to pay a fair price for content, which can lead to people not seeing the official full-length movies, causing great damage to rights holders,” the anti-piracy group explains.

    This argument is not very convincing, and I highly doubt there's any evidence to support it.

  • Now that I think about it, the cause-and-effect here is probably being viewed all wrong.

    What likely happens is that a game comes out to overwhelming expectations, and the greater those player expectations are met, the more word-of-mouth gets around about the game. Thus, games that deserve to do well make more money, and pirates are less motivated to work on a crack right away.

    If player expectations are not being met, the less success the game receives, and the more motivated pirates are to crack it (driven by their disgust at bad software).

    The above scenarios probably do a good job of accounting for 20% of the revenue for a game.

  • Degenerate robosexuals isn't something to get your panties in a bunch about. The real worry is when people modify the useful chatbots to provide more interesting insights into creative sexuality. There's a subject braindead journos can't even contemplate, yet I doubt I'm the only one thinking about it.
