DrDawkinstein Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 like i said, ill take all the ribs you guys want to throw now. i can take internet ball-busting with no problem, but thats not what went on here. you can laugh like im just some sort of snapcase, but id like to just point out i laughed off being called names and the same stupid stuff for 5 pages until i told the dude to "shut up"(well, a little more than that but that was the basic premise). he can laugh all he wants like this was his plan all along, but ill stand by the fact that when it came down to the basic argument, i made him look just as foolish, and being a prig was his only choice. glad to see im in the signature. ill take it. and id never cry to the mods or another board.

Yeah, your "I'm not a thief, I just steal songs over the internet" argument really showed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungee Jumper Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 ha! the real debate only took place up until page 5 or so... There was a debate? I didn't see a debate, I saw a bunch of people agreeing that RIAA is a reactionary organization with no grasp of their present market, I saw you overreacting to an idiotic statement from RIAA, I saw a bunch of people factually calling you a thief, and I saw you prove you're stupid enough to believe you know more about the applicable case law than a practicing intellectual property attorney because you steal music online. There's no debate. There's you forgetting to take your Ritalin, and a bunch of people laughing at you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The problem is that the poe references would be lost on everyone but the 5 people that actually have picked up a book sometime in the last 10 years. This might help: Poe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot that part where, technically speaking, it was agreed that it's not stealing or thievery to download music, but is instead copyright infringement. Yes, it's a pet peeve of mine, deal with it. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungee Jumper Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 And you say other people are being babies. Nice. I think you missed the point: no one cares. No one cared the first eight times you pointed it out. No one cares now. No one will care the next eight times you point it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 This all seems way overblown. I was a pirate at a Halloween party last year, and I didn't pick up on any anti-pirating vibe. I kept using this line on my girlfriend that I saw on a pirate t-shirt: "Aaaaarrrrrggggghh........You free Saturday night?" She was less than amused.

Do you pirate any other good stuff? How much optional tip do you want? I was thinking about zero or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one in a never ending stream of disappointments I'm sure. Maybe you can impress her by stealing some stuff and telling her you actually only infringed it.

I do feel foolish that a thief told me to shut up for calling him a thief. Pretty sure I also called you selfish. Not sure what other names I called you but I guess you're sensitive. From now on, I'll take a page from Fezmid's book. You're an "unabashed copyright infringer" and instead of selfish, I'll just say you're a spoiled hypocrite. And I guess I still can't say you're from Lackawanna but you do have it in your blood and you've also been exposed to it. glad to see im in the signature. ill take it. It's been a pleasure getting to know you. Thank you for your contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i kinda have to agree with Bill in NYC about you and your sig. Only a douche does stuff like putting that stuff in the sig.
