i see what you did there. although i admit the 'if you don't like it you can leave' argument is bulletproof.
everyone's got their own narrative itt so i'll sum up my thoughts quickly because my download of breakin II: electric bugaloo is almost done.
1. i don't give a fuck about piracy. on my list of societal ills it ranks somewhere between pre-teen cosmetic surgery and steroids in women's field hockey. but please, tell me how this is important-
2. 'because it hurts people'
no, lack of opportunity hurts people. nafta. cafta and the death of fordism hurt people. the entertainment industry has been printing money for over a decade but instead of enjoying their swimming pools filled with cash they're obsessing over the maids keeping the change from the couch cushions. which leads to my next point-
3. fuck hollywood(and all media) in the ass with a rake
4. people are basically good. everyone itt admits to pirating when they were young or poor.
5. industry always resists change. don't break the internet. yada yada see the ted talk from a few pages back
6. things change. tell em bob
