They get around that because somehow digital content copying isn't theft.

Stealing a CD that contained the content is theft. Copying the contents of the CD without paying for it isn't, even though it means that you get the content without paying for it.

It is how they rationalize not walking out of the 7/11 without paying for their 1.29 drink, but how they rationalize not paying $1.29 for a song. I mean, the fountain is just going to get refilled with content and they'll just make more cups, why can't you just take the drink?

I mean, $100 a year for Netflix or $100 a year for a really solid streaming porn subscription?

Does this streaming porn subscription have celeb nudes? Asking for a friend.

No, so many of us are saying regardless of whether we've lived a guiltless life or not (we haven't) we now have a solid grasp of right and wrong and attempt to limit the number of times we go out on a limb pretending its ok to STEAL STUFF.

Yeah, I'm sure none of those crazy prosecutions had any sort of chilling effect on it either.

Yeah, but haven't you heard? He doesn't WANT to pay for cable. Don't you guys get it? He doesn't fucking want to, so it is okay to get the content however he likes.

I mean, it's okay if I rape a girl so long as she's already lost her virginity and she's unconscious and I wear a condom, because it is an infinitely available resource and I'm not doing anything wrong.

Or music being worse, for the most part.



Osmo, don't rationalize your behavior. Everyone has failings, but it's important to acknowledge that they are failings rather than make excuses for them.

You don't need cable to watch local NFL games, just an antenna. Osmlogic.

People are buying more music, stealing it less, because music has gotten worse.

Music today, like kids today: worse and less respecting of the previous generation.
