...Seems so much smaller than it was. Then again, sometimes all you need is a few good anchors to keep the whole boat steady, and I'd bank on Tunnel's success.

And will you turn CMT into something useful because apparently no one gives a shit about CMT
Also what will you do with TCM
Yeah, I think CMT can go to NBCUniversal. It can be their problem.
And TCM... hmm. I don't want to tinker too much with it because I have a feeling if I did then some random folks'll come out of the woodwork demanding the old version of it back.

Ok, Kex, let me ask this: who's hurt by someone who can't afford music pirating it?
The copyright holder wasn't going to get your money either way, because you don't have any to give them. And it's not like stealing a physical object--you haven't deprived them of the possession of anything, you've merely used technology to make another of it.

Like I said before, it's not music I care about, it's mainly games and such.
But who, for example, is hurt when someone shoplifts from Wal Mart? But no one tries to justify that.

how does your response answer the question
You have to pay because that's the law, and it's not fair to do so when there are people willing to pay.

Simple. If you shoplift (for example) a t-shirt from Wal-Mart, you've hurt Wal-Mart because they now have one fewer t-shirt to sell and have not received any compensation for it.
But if you could press a button an magically make an identical t-shirt (the way you can with digital music files), would anyone be hurt if you did so without paying?
(Yes, I know this is an oversimplification, because it costs something to produce a song in the first place. But I'm trying to get Kex thinking.)

Shoplifting is such a tiny thing, though, something which Wal Mart could obviously afford every once in a while. Do you really think one ten dollar t-shirt is going to harm a multi-billion business? But for some reason, shoplifting is less common than piracy.
Some perspective on my financial situation: I have no job, though I am working on it, neither does my mom. My estranged father makes 12 odd-dollars an hour working at a nursing home, and sends us roughly 130-odd dollars a week as child support. In addition to this, we have food stamps.
That is it.
If i'm lucky, I get maybe like 10 dollars a month or so.
This christmas, I got 50 dollars from my grandpa. I bought myself 2 flannel shirts from goodwill because I was running low and it's getting cold out, and spent the rest on music.
As I said, I purchase music whenever I can Mr. Galt.
Comments
Oh hell no.
Reality television
You can have it, but I'm keeping Best Week Ever and I Love The...
You make the bed, you lie in it Mr. Galt.
"I Need a Doctor" is an alright song.
Just Lose It ties with the other one though.
It's a reference to the book itself.
No need to get so defensive, bro.
But where will you put them
And will you turn CMT into something useful because apparently no one gives a shit about CMT

Dude I was making rapjoke.
I make rapjoke all the time.
All the time.
Also Turner
So this has literally nothing to do with, say, logic, sound arguments, decent discussions. You're just mad?
Dude, come on. You know that's a bad reason to start a conversation.
Random folks like me
What would NBCU want with CMT
OK, I'm kinda done here.
I'm going to go watch more SEL, which I'm sure predicted this exact conversation like it predicted everything else about the internet.
also I'm not normally the type to say "I told you so", but I did.
