| As I've said before, Copyright is an obsolete concept that no longer benefits society, and needs to be abolished entirely. The whole concept that Piracy is somehow stealing is utterly ridiculous. The kind of bullshit only senior citizens can be hoodwinked into believing, and even that only with considerable effort. Hollywood is a cesspool of greedy pigs who are bitching up a storm because their industry is finally being disrupted by technology -- something very long overdue. If someone enjoys a show, or book, or movie, or other creative work, they are free to donate to the appropriate parties -- but to force such payment, specially before the content is even evaluated, is fucking insane. Why the hell has society put of with this asinine nonsense for so long? HOW THE FUCK did the copyright system even ever get started in the first place!? When Kim Dotcom released his first album a few months ago, I choose to pay for it, only after listening to it all day and deciding that it was worth my money. This "voting with the pocketbook" is what makes the most sense. I expect that, before my lifetime is over, people will look back on this era as a dark-age. I imagine grandparents explaining to children how College Textbooks used to cost money and how people had to pay for a movie before they even saw it. FUCK COPYRIGHT. Burn it to the fucking ground. The Copyright system is a lot like debt-collectors, it only continues to operate because people keep paying. The sooner we all stop paying for content, the quicker the system will go away. If you value free information and open-source theology, please stop paying for content. If we all stopped paying for content tomorrow, then the debate would be over a hell of a lot quicker. I'm sure Kurt Sutter would make plenty of money if he would collect donations from people instead of spew hatred towards Google, the single greatest company the world has ever seen. Google has done more for the world than a million Kurt Sutter's could ever do. |
