As Penny Arcade so aptly pointed out, pirating is a vicious cycle. Piraters pirate, developers install system breaking DRM, more people pirate to avoid DRM, developers go to the lawmakers, even more people pirate to spite the new stupid law system....

I don't even care who started the cycle anymore, it needs to stop.

Thats not a cycle, thats a expanding problem/solution wave.

That is simply because you seem to favor one side of the cycle. The pirates provoke the developers who provoke the pirates who provoke the developers who provoke the pirates...

Everything after that initial pirates pirate is a reaction, and the wrong one at that. Give someone proof that the legal version is better or a reward for it and they'll usually take it, but wreck the legal version with DRM to stop the pirates who immediately strip it out anyway will just give them less reason to get the legal one, because its a worse product overall.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Like I said earlier, I stopped playing the blame game about copy protection and software piracy a long time ago. All I care about is resolution of the issue before things get any worse.

[Akura]

The bike my parents took from the guy who lost mine. It's a literal pain in the ass to ride that thing, the gear shift is messed up, it's shorter(lengthwise) overall, which means I have to lean forward more heavily onto my hands which hurts both my hands and back. Did I mention my ass hurts, too? Because I think I need to check my underwear for signs of rectal bleeding now.

Just watched Sucker Punch.

[Burnt Pies]

Sucker Punch could've been so much better without the (Not particularly well done) Inception-y mindgames. Steampunk Nazis, Dragons, Robots and a Girl with a Katana? Hell yeah, so OTT it could be an utterly ridiculous Anime. I'd watch that. Hell, that's what they suckered me in with. What I got? A fairly dull docudrama about Ladies of Negotiable Affection/people in a mental asylum, with scattered pieces of Awesome that stopped me leaving the Cinema and doing something interesting.

I watched this film a few months ago, and it still irritates me. Bah.

[Ochita]

My brother.

[Vorthon]

My stepdad raging today, and at one point actually saying 'I help everyone in the country, and what do I get? Nothing!'

I may be paraphrasing here, but that the gist of it. I think he's finally snapped. He doesn't help everyone in the country, he's just a kraahking redneck. And a racist. I'm honestly getting tired of dealing with him.

This.

[Rose]

For me, it wasn't so much the fact that much of it wasn't actiony. far from it. for me, it was the the way it drew me it, made me attached to the characters, and then WHAM punched me in the gut.

Spoiler: Posted by a "friend"(read: Someone I don't actually like but keep around because of rage masochism (click to show/hide)

I Am the Democratic, Republican Liberal-Progressive's Worst Nightmare.

I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning Biker.

I am a Master leatherworker. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn a living.

 

I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others..

I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and drive American-made cars, and I believe in American products and buy them whenever I can.

 

I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some liberal governmental functionary, Democratic or Republican, that wants to share it with others who don't work!

 

I'm in touch with my feelings, and I like it that way!

 

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer; it makes you a smart American.

 

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it!

 

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English.

 

I believe there should be no other language option.

 

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

 

My heroes are Malcolm Forbes, Bill Gates, John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.

 

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

 

I know wrestling is fake, and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.

 

I've never owned a slave, nor was I a slave. I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!

 

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country!

 

This is AMERICA ...We like it the way it is and more so the way it was .....so stop trying to change it to look like Russia or China , or some other socialist country!

 

If you were born here and don't like it... you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you. I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the White House, the seat of our biggest problems.

 

I want to know which church is it, exactly, where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution.

 

Can I get an AMEN on that one?

 

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are, but not just because you happen to ride a bike.

 

And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license. I think it's good....  And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money..

 

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

 

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause.... Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family!

 

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents....

 

I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!

 

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !

 

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

 

If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know....

 

We want our country back!

   My Country.....

I hope this offends all illegal aliens.

 

My great, great, great, great grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in the Revolution & the War of 1812.  My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Mexican American War.  My great, great grandfather watched as his friends & brothers died in the Civil War.  My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Spanish-American War. My grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I. My father watched as his friends died in WW II.

 

I watched as my friends died in  Vietnam , Panama & Desert Storm. My son watched & bled as his friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq .. None of them died for the Mexican Flag. Everyone died for the American flag.

 

Texas high school students raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole, other students took it down. Guess who was expelled...the students who took it down.

 

California   High School students were sent home on Cinco de Mayo, because they wore T-shirts with the

American flag printed on them.

 

Enough is enough

 

This message needs to be viewed by every American; and every American needs to stand up for America ..

 

We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand.

 

I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the American flag.

 

If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know.  I will gladly remove you from my e-mail list.

 

And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

 

AMERICANS, stop giving away Your RIGHTS!

 

Let me make this clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY !

 

This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration!

 

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY, welcome to come legally:

 

1. Get  a sponsor!

 

2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past!

 

3. Live by OUR rules!

 

4. Get a job!

 

5. Pay YOUR Taxes!

 

6. No Social Security until you have earned it and Paid for it!

 

7. NOW find a place to lay your head!

 

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE  PART OF THE PROBLEM!

 

We've gone so far the other way . . .  bent over backwards not to offend anyone.

 

Only AMERICANS seems to care when American Citizens are being offended!

 

WAKE UP America ! ! !

 

If you do not Pass this on, may your fingers cramp!

 

Made in the U S A & DAMN PROUD OF IT!!!

Yes, damn those progressives!  Trying to move us forward into the "future" instead of back into a half-imagined past.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Anything including the words "Wake up America!" is immediately suspect. That tends to be the sort of thing NWO nutjobs say.

[ein]

He made a couple good points, but the stupid outweighs the rest, so whatever.
