    Lawyer Destroys Arguments for Game Piracy

    Well actually, this modal has proven to work. If you're getting into the realm of pay by charity, then places like bandcamp.com, the open source world, and a free movie called "Sita Sings the Blues" is worth a look into for case studys and the likes. The artists back story on Sita Sings the...

    Lawyer Destroys Arguments for Game Piracy

    One thing that I would criticize about money is that it puts restrictions on technology from becoming widely used. Especially in impoverished countries. E.G: If you stacked farms in a vertical building rather than a horizontal landscape. Then you would have 10x more acres of land to play...

    Well to be fair, that would make money irrelevant. Money is a form of regulator for scarce resources. If you could do that with physical matter then there would be no need for the monetary system at all. Now that's a concept to ponder on... Is money an old outdated tool that we have just...

    I detect a straw man... PULL OUT THE FLAME THROWERS! People, please stop equating digital goods with physical scenarios. The fact is that there are other factors that you are not looking at when making these oversimplifications. e.g: One is composed of data and is infinite, and the other is...

    Diegetic sound means sound that is from the source of recording. For example, if a track was playing in the background, perhaps from a radio or cd player at the time. There is no way of removing the music without the audio sounding off or clunky. Removing the hole sound from the video would...

    Isn't health care in America classed as a luxury? isn't it a case of if your not earning money to pay for it then your a waist that deserves to die anyway? do correct me if I'm wrong. Oh. As a note, I pirated Half Life 1, and as a result I now legally own all of valves games (including Half...

    I left this in another comment, but I think I'll leave it here. In terms of finite goods. Buy: 1-1+1=1 (Person is compensated and can replace the goods) Steal:1-1=0 (Person is not compensated and can not replace the goods) In terms of infinite goods. Buy: ∞-1+1=∞ Steal...

    Lawyer Destroys Arguments for Game Piracy

    I will openly admit that I have pirated games and software. You see, I tried legally buying games before on another download service, Real Arcade.

    The Other PS3 Hacker Is (Probably) Headed to Jail

    It's not just about the piracy. That is just Sony's way to get public backing for this stuff. The truth is that Sony actually lose money per a console soled.

    New Bill Makes Illegal Streaming A Felony

    The main thing with this is as always, abuse. I can Imagine companies going after some youtuber because their video contains "copyrighted content".
