It is useful to look at piracy not as a problem, but as competition: what attracts customers to piracy, rather than brick-and-mortar stores? What is piracy providing to customers that stores don't?

cats are more awesome than dogs everyone knows this quote this if you're down

I still think the recording industry is filled with the dumbest people on Earth.

Imagine….What if the Internet had ‘frontiers’. Why can we go all over the world on the Internet without a passport? Why are cybernauts allowed to steal goods from the store ’shelves’ and ’shop windows’ and justify it as ’sharing’? Since the birth of the Internet, people have been hacking software, stealing music, books, films, television shows, credit card numbers, eBay accounts, IP addresses… you name it, if it’s out there and can be downloaded, it’s being virtually stolen from under your nose.

So, why is this Wild West so hard to monitor? Why are people up in arms and waiving their guns wildly… … Are these new pirate ships sharing other people’s goods for gold? Of course they are… yes, I’m speaking about the torrent sites… and all the other sites who are making money on other people’s back…

Is the Internet really that much ‘bigger’ than the ‘real’ world? I think not. I believe that in the near future, we will all be using our Internet passports. If the government can do it in the real world, what’s stopping them from monitoring this new ‘Wild West’ phenomenon of the Internet in every town, city, state and country. I mean… Don’t we have just as much right as citizens to be protected on the Internet as we would be anywhere else? And really, the only people who would disagree with this idea are people who either are engaging in illegal activity or people who claim ‘civil liberty and freedom of speech’ on the Internet, but remember guys, those freedoms are only good until you begin to harm other people.

Don't you think it's incredibly arrogant of you to presume you can prescribe an objective definition of 'fun' to all players? Nobody plays a game they don't find fun just because it's competitive; they play competitive games because they find competition fun.

how am i supposed to sleep with a crying woman in the next room over?

this place is madness

See, the beans represent the jews, and the mocha latte is auschwitz, and the barista is anne frank. I'm sure the douche on the laptop is Dr. Mengele or something, I'm not sure.

"Yeah I know where Iraq is. What? It's on TV. The middle east? It's there too?"

Well, ain't this place a geographical oddity. Exactly two weeks away from everywhere!

it wasn't until tonight (or a week ago i guess) that i've begun to really, really understand why and how people "bury their worries" in "drink or drugs"

i have a craving to drink because i can't stop thinking about things i want to stop thinking about

chasing that false happiness
yeah, i'm beginning to see it
