  • Suprnova is shut down for good. May she rest in peace :-(

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Like most proponents of 'freedom to steal' he obviously has no idea what the big bad companies can actually do to stop people from getting their free stuff.

There will probably be some sort of online distribution method but it's not because you can't stop people from stealing them online. The notion that these big bad companies will somehow get defeated by 'technology' is absurd. If anything is to fade away it'd be the products themselves not the person selling them.</div>

Even AOL figures out how to adapt.

But I've found just about everyone who talks about this embrace the new age thing only uses it to justify they're stealing, being the brave forerunners of future they are, no doubt.

It's especially absurd to say that the big companies are somehow going away because of the brave action of piraters because the thing that will go away first is the guys who are producing music or whatever that are now no longer getting money from what they made.</div>
