My sister used to do this with Target.

She was always overdrafting her accounts to the point where my dad actually had to go pay Bank of America $200 to close one of them for her, so she decided 'fuck banks' and would just spend her entire paycheck at Target. Whenever she needed cash she would head to Target and return some stuff.

It feels like the Taliban is just passing more and more ridiculous subjugation laws to try and get the west to attack them again so that they can go back to riding camels and shooting AKs with their 'brothers' instead of enduring the hell of office work and family life that is modern society.

I don't think anybody here is siding with ISPs. We're just happy to hear that they're having difficulties policing piracy.

When I say individual rights I mean any and all rights an individual has or should have. In the case of piracy, an individual should have a right to entertainment media at a reasonable cost. The more corporations increase the cost of media access, the more piracy proliferates. In the case of AI, an individual should have the right to earn a living. Corporations are using the works of individuals to ultimately increase their own profits without due compensation to the individual.

I don't know how you got to pro conservative capitalism from a single anti-corporatist statement, but it likely took you several leaps of logic that I'm not going to even try to follow.

It's almost as if the people here favor individual rights over corporate profits.

You never know. Someone could make a time travel movie with it one day and then collectors will pay an arm and a leg for the left door.
