He still has more say than average joe. Average joe pays an affordable but budget of a premium. He's probably paying for top-tier level stuff, giving how much he's making. He has more saying power than average joe. Average joe is the one getting the hot-potato of agents, getting ignored, getting mislead .etc

What makes you think a rich person is getting the same?

Oh please. Someone like him raking in the money, money can guarantee better service than average joe's pull. Let's not kid ourselves here. I'm actually astounded to know how much there is a divide here in the comments, where people are actually defending the rich one here.

And here I thought piracy was for the people that couldn't afford these luxuries on a daily basis. Piracy being for people that simply, by choice, don't want to bother with the legal alternative because of the questionable practices in play. Piracy being for people that just simply are locked out and have had their consumer rights stomped on all the way.

Why are we drawing the lines of exception here between a dude that pulls a million a year. That's like the antithesis of the concept of piracy. He's earning $83,000 a month, that's a lot more than an average joe makes in an entire year's worth of their salary.

You're defending the 1% and that's just wrong on so many angles when it comes to piracy.

Neither would you, "Champ".

Shareholders ought to be thankful we don't know their names, addresses or anything or we'd be knee-capping them dumbasses.

Supreme Court is going to uphold it, watch. The Supreme Court isn't really a viable source of decision making when it comes to these things.

"The major record labels, including Sony and Universal, want the Supreme Court to take a closer look at the “profit motive”. They asked the Court to consider whether an ISP must profit directly from the infringement itself, or if profiting from the overall operation in which the infringement occurs is enough. "

This is really just straight up bullying. Because, Sony and Universal for years have targeted pirates who they know are pirating and knew of the sources. They know the difference, it's just they want more people to do their dirty work for them.

To support this argument, the music companies cited the dance hall cases, in which courts have held that the owners of venues can be held liable for copyright infringement committed by performers they hire.

The petition further cited the Supreme Court’s holding in Herbert v. Shanley Co. that a hotel could be held liable for the infringing performance of an orchestra it employed. The Court concluded that the hotel profited from the performance, even though visitors only paid for their meal, not the music.

Fucking dumb logic.

"“That would imperil the livelihoods, safety, and social connections of a massive universe of downstream users who rely on internet connections to run businesses, pay bills, apply to jobs, read the news, connect with friends and family, petition their representatives, and attend school.” "

True. But "muh muneh" are all that these studios care about.

Cell phones, when they had personality. The 2000s was such a good time for them, you had so many designs. Slide out keyboard, panels that can slide, sleek designs, some had actual buttons .etc

But we're now relegated to just a varying series of rectangles and squares. Yay...

I've only registered to it when I feel I need to interact a little more than few on here. I'd last long enough until I'm shadowbanned or banned outright because of a report from an overly-sensitive redditard.

I keep registering just out of spite though because if Reddit cared about alts or shit, they'd re-tool their registration by now. But, Reddit never learns anything so why not keep abusing it.

It's only been getting longer between times though before I consider re-registering again. Just playing the whole ban evading whack-a-mole with them. But I do make my feelings known time to time about Spez because that shithead can still go fuck himself and that stupid grin of his.

"Seahawks CB Tariq Woolen was using MethStreams to watch today’s NFL games. He makes over $1 million a year,”

I hate to sound like that guy but, I'm on the side of those who can't afford the luxury of streaming, playing games as they're released and vice versa.

He can afford it.
