That's actually Tasmania.

Shows you how much of a dent they’re putting in the bottom line.

Or how desperate google execs are to get even the tiniest bump in revenue.

Then that's why.

Do you have Google history turned off?

Meh. If life weren't so focused on material gains and losses, I wouldn't need to.

It would also mean potential losses for the distributors, as people are (supposedly) less likely to buy directly for them.

So, again, the problem isn't the media, it's the distributors.

I mean, I can actually own a bunch of stuff as long as it doesn't have some sort of proprietary DRM bullshit attached to it.

The problem isn't that there's no way to obtain media in a non-bullshit way. The problem is that distributors don't want to provide media in a non-bullshit way.

Well as long as we know the ship is sinking around us, we don't need to know why or do anything about it.

Introspection?

We huntin' space whales.

But you did seem to imply that it was a good method.

Trauma as a problem solving tool... hmm...

The problem is, they aren't the ones that'd get fucked. It's the people they're responsible for that'd end up getting screwed over.
