      pirates just need to for a while pretend to post in a way that piracy is really no more so they stop doing anything about it.

      It’s not like it’s a government agency, it’s a film company group. Defund it by never paying for a movie and getting everyone everywhere to never pay for a movie

    Most assuredly; that gentleman doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.

    What he IS doing— is justifying his expenditure.

    It will come to nothing anyway.

    What a poop-nosed loser.

          Yeah, can’t blame autocucumber for that one. However, I’ve had a bitch of a time remembering English words since moving to a Spanish speaking country…

    This is like the time the MPAA declared “victory” when they had all of the original Pirate Bay founders arrested. But Pirate Bay still continued because it was no longer ran by them.

    But you know, this is now the opportunity for people to let the MPA think they won. Just let them think so. If they think so, they’ll give a little less of a shit. If we keep screaming to the high heavens about piracy, this shit will just continue.

      Casting illusions works on some people, usually those with defeatist or “not worth the trouble” mindset?

    That’s it folks, they got the big boss. Wrap it up and let’s go back to spending hundreds of dollars a month across dozens of platforms to not own any of the media we consume.
