“When I was a kid we were lucky if we only had to wait 9 months to rent a theatrical release. The generation before mine had to hope and pray a favorite of theirs would be re-released or air on one of, like, 7 TV channels. ‘I want it now’ is not a real justification for piracy.”

They would do the same if they weren't so old and crusty.

*I'm probably around the same age as this bastard. At least I'm not as crusty.

I can identify with that entire statement except for the last sentence. Hell, I'll accept "cuz it's Tuesday" as a valid reason for piracy.

My generation paid a lot for the type of shit that many of y'all take for granted and I think that's fucking fantastic. In fact, let's face it: my generation paid more than enough. Y'all should be stealing everything isn't already given for free by the corporations. If the BaCk iN my DaY squawkers wanna keep paying the poor innocent execs, then fine.

For everyone else, if it ain't nailed down or owned, take it. And if someone hoarded more than they could use in 10 lifetimes, eat them and then take everything. We should never forget what's been taken from us and it's pretty much your duty now to take it all back.

This isn't thievery, this is the fucking bill coming due.
