I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn't quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. I the spirit of their own long-held stance:

A photoshopped version of the "You wouldn't download a car" ad saying: "You wouldn't download an actor"

The United States has the most comprehensive social safetynet and system of redress on Earth.

...exclusively for the tiny sliver of the population that already owns everything and controls our government through institutionally legalized bribery.

As has happened for all of human history, we have devolved back to the golden rule: those with all the gold make the rules, and surprise surprise, the rules say they can't lose and you can't win.

Considering how expanding images on KBin is pretty inelegant at this point, I also appreciate you transcribing the meme so I don't have to open it.

You appreciate the transcription because you're blind.

I appreciate it, because kbin expands images inelegantly.

We are not the same!

Obviously this isn’t digital piracy, it’s identity theft. Hence the reason Hollywood is perfectly fine with it. 😛

Identity theft is not a joke

Once again, Matt Groening predicted the future in the Napster episode of Futurama.

I would download even cancer if that made spez lose money

Holding onto anger is drinking poison expecting the other person to die.

Spez is garbage, and yes never participate in whatever he's selling, but he isn't worth your anguish. He doesn't know you and he wouldn't care about your anger if he did.
