I don't know what you're talking about. I legally and lawfully purchase everything I would like to watch.

Have a nice night, Agent Barnes.

>harms the economy

good

>I can fight the power and the man from my chair

btfo, easiest revolution of my life

>>279421

It's like I'm a real cyberpunk.

you know what else harmed the economy? the car

just think of all those poor unemployed horse carriage drivers, horse breeders, stablekeepers and what have you

>>279425

You do realise that by the 'economy' they mean the 'film industry', right?

Let it burn.

>>279433

if they meant film industry they should have said film industry

>>279446

But then nobody wouldn't have given a fuck about it.

>>279234

You this is all just bullshit liberal semantics, right?

When you copy instead of paying cash to see it in the cinemas, you're not giving them back the money they invested in making the movie. i.e. if noone watches, rents vids or buys merchandise the studios would tank…in theory.

That being said, I always wondered how they can claim they're losing money when production values of a blockbuster can shoot up to the gdp of a 3rd world country and they can afford to pay some no-talent cokehead scientologist $20 million per film.

>>279459

if they can't produce something that people are willing to pay for, they deserve to tank

I found out a friend of mine was pirating movies from his home computer, so I called the local police and when they investigated they ended up taking all of his computer gear (even the monitors and printers lol). He was never actually charged with a crime because the charges were dropped, but he learned an important lesson.

Piracy hurts all of us, and it is important to turn in anyone you know is commiting the crime.

>>279466

kill yourself, snitch

>>279466

you should have greentexted this

>harms the economy

The money I would have spent on a movie ticket I can now use to buy something else. How does that have a negative impact on the economy?

Feels amazing. Fuck intellectual property, fuck copyright.

We should live in a communist society and have everything shared equality including entertainment. That'll dull them from the real horrors happening behind the scenes. Not like that is different from a democratic society but it'll be more streamlined.

>>279459

The key difference is that the thing still exists. If anything you are taking an experience for free.

If you ran a bike rental company and I rode it for free, leaving the bike, I'd have 'stolen' the experience you were selling. If I took the bike I'd have 'stolen' the experience and physically stolen the bike.

'Piracy' is like the former. It's called piracy to try and conflate it with real piracy that is a form of the latter.

>>279541

The analogy falls down in one area though in that only one faggot can ride a rental bike at once.

>>279530

>When you're a fan of something, you're still inclined to give back

on what do you base this theory?

Reminder that if you record a program off the television, it's piracy. If you watch that recording, that's also piracy. If you show that recording to other people, that's even more piracy you've committed.

Reminder that if you watch a Youtube clip/fragment of a show from anyone other than the copyright holder, it's piracy, and if you have Adblock on, it's piracy anyway.

Reminder that buying used DVDs/Blu-Rays means the money you spent on them does not go to the rights' holders of that particular media and is therefore piracy. The original owner has illegally profited off the sale of the DVD to the shop, whether it be online or an actual store.

the supreme court ruled in favor of the consumer on that one IIRC

>>279585

they'll probably flip flop on it now that Obama put another kike in there

>>279590

unlikely, it wasnt a split descision, and, ginsburg and scalia were 2 of the 3 who opposed it, and theye both gone, so even if the two new ones opposed it, it would be the same as it was last go around.

Nice meme. You're still a thieving nigger.

Get a job.

>>279650

You're right grandpa. I'm going to walk up to the manager and shake his hand until he gives me a job.

Well, since I can't actually buy the movie, but instead license it, I'm going to pirate as much as I want. It's not like I watched lots of movies anyways.

>>279698

my nigga

just cuz we work doesn't mean we waste money on shit.

been pirating since 05 and only received notices twice, for game of thrones episodes. since then i've steered clear of anything hbo to be safe and haven't heard a thing

stealing media is fucking great, i make no excuses. A shit show like avengers that cost hundreds of millions? even juicier, its almost arousing, I like to imagine some kike furrowing his brow at the theoretical missed sales in dvds and fucking themed big gulps

Its not that I dont "like" IP, the concept simply does not compute.

My dream is to make a videogame entirely out of stolen assets, ideological reasons would be secondary, I would probably still try to monetize it with btc or something

the best part of this paradigm of thieves is that any incompetent potato nigger with an internet connection has access to pretty much the same media as some rich whiney cunt, soon there will be no excuse for being a dumbass with pleb taste

I dont care about hollywood, anything they produce that has value is negated by the constant stream of garbage. I would not piss on them if they were burning.

>>279734

get a VPN you tard, how in the fuck are you even here without a vpn thats just negligent

AIR is decent

>>279738

i've dabbled in vpns and tbh i just don't give a fuck.

Limbo of the Lost

>>279600

And bands make money off tours and merch sales. Pirating the album's only hurts the music studio, which now only makes girl music anyway. fuck em.

>>279744

understandable, but i would advise you to aquire one in the near future, especially if you still take part in society in any sort of meaningful way.

Think less muh privacy and more character assassination…

an example, ever since this fugee crisis has been going on in germany weve had organized groups logging peoples inane youtoob/facebag chatter and the like, going so far as to email/call their boss to slander them…

im not even entirely anti-refugee(id trade a million syrians to send the burger boys home) but that shit is fucked up, nevermind the fact that they can convict your fucking lawyer if you start on any holoklaus shit.

UK is even worse from what i hear, and oh boy is the US going down that road..

VPN wont protect you from spooks but its an extra layer. might become a necessity sooner than you think if you want to speak your mind(or steal the latest steaming pile out of jewlywood)

>>279541

If you ran a bike rental company and people rode for free you'd have no cash to keep your company afloat.

Information must be free.

>>279858

If everyone rode for free perhaps.

One or two faggots who would not have paid otherwise costs me nothing and gives me word of mouth.

I'll always say people should pay a fair price if they enjoyed the product and can afford it but that still doesn't mean not doing so is theft.

The fact that tv/films are so hard to pay for doesn't help. In the UK, for example, the only legal way to see GoT is to pay for Sky (not worthwhile for one show only) or wait over a year. As a result I see no moral wrong in pirating GoT (particularly if I'm already paying for something like Netflix). Gabe might have sold out long ago but what he said is still true: piracy is a service issue as much as anything else.
