Honestly with online streaming and netflix and ther devices of the like at what point would you deem it necessary to illegally download a movie when there are so many sights that you cn just watch em free on anyway. as far asv the newest movies that are still in the theatre most if the time it's a crappy recording sombody made on there iphone and then uploadewd it so I'd rather either wait til it's available for watching on line or there's a cheap movie theatre arround the corner from me that's usually playing all the latest things. so the onely movie's I really Download are old 1930's classics like lon chaney jr in the wolfman, humphry bogart in the african queen. so anyway that's the point. illegal downloading in this day and age just clogs up your hard drive loades you up with spyware to me it's just not worth my while nowdays.

I worked produce for a year and saw how it was handled. At least rinse it off first.

I will sample a cherry before I buy the bag, and if a woman wants to kiss me I'll let her, but that's about as far as I go.

We live in a world of dishonesty. Isn't magic about teaching people not be so gullible? When one makes it easy to steal something then it is plain silly not to expect it to be stolen. One can make holier than thou speeches or preach until the cows home if makes you feel good but its pretty futile in effect really. Its going to carry on in reality unabated until they find a way to make it actually difficult to steal it. I think it would more productive trying to think up of a way of making it more difficult to steal. The only way one could stop theft is do away with ownership altogether. Which is not good idea but I think it would stop theft. We could all pay a tax and make it all free like to go to the flicks. Or
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

You have your facts all wrong what I did was rob a record store, and I got away with a whole truck load of CD's. Why do you ask are you interested in buying some hot CD's cheap?

"Pirate King" from Pirates of Penzance (Opera)
But I’ll be true to the song I sing, And live and die a Pirate King. For I am a Pirate King! And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King! For I am a Pirate King! You are! Hurrah for our Pirate King! And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King. It is! Hurrah for our Pirate King! Hurrah for the/our Pirate King! And that is what the elite do sing :pirate: In the land of the blind

In Britain, you know, the movie moguls encourage piracy, all these movies they’ve been churning out about pirates, pirates eveywhere and I’m talking about the actual movies. So they brainwash the children into thinking pirates are cool then when the captain kids pirate pirate they wonder why. Hmmm

It has now become laudable to declare one is not going to commit a crime. Will it be far more laudable if I declare I am not going to commit a far more serious crime, or will it be just laughable?

And you don't believe that private companies haven't been doing the same thing and routinely selling and exchanging the information?
I agree that there is a need to examine the issue, but I don't agree with your assessment of Snowden as a "hero." It's starting to seem that he was more of a hapless dupe for Julian Assange. |

I posted this web sight just to show how unnecessary it is to illegally download in the first place you don't have to. there are millions of web sights just like this one that legally let you watch whatever they have on line without having to download spyware or having you're hard drive clogged up with unnecessary Data. this is the age we live in now. yeah I guess there's other things like music and some magic DVD's to some extent. but even with that places like morrisey and vanishing inc and penguin magic offer DVD downloads at incredibly low prices and it's all done legally as far as music goes I admit I'm guilty of illegally downloading albums but I listen to so much obscure things sometimes there is no other way to obtain it. and as far as other bands and producers and record company's that have already made there money off the beatles and zeppelin a tenfold I don't feel guilty at all about getting that content for free I've already owned (bought with my hard earned money)most of this material on vinyl, cassette ,and CD so I feel no guilt downloading this material. |
