Geriba Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Intellectual property rights need to be protected, and all those fighting against it are just a bunch of anti-capitalistic, free-riding pirates. Since we can't hang 'em from the rafters like we did in the old days, SOPA is an acceptable Plan B. Do you agree, Serenes? Serious responses only please.

Grace Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 This is in FFTF. Serious be damned. Serious answer: People always find ways around limitations like this. You're more likely to hurt the innocent than the guilty. Non-serious answer: Nice trollin'. Great sarcasm as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geriba Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) wait what is great sarcasm obvious blatant sarcasm you can even see through text here? he literally said "we can't hang them from the rafters" bro Just because I'm passionate doesn't mean I'm not serious. I was obviously exaggerating about the punishment for online piracy- although substantial jail time seems appropriate- but I'm dead serious about the importance of enforcing intellectual property rights against short-sighted cheapskates. It arguably isn't, most things for smaller businesses can only be made legitimately popular through initial piracy If this seems like a viable business strategy, then it should be up to the intellectual proprietor to make that decision for himself. This may surprise you, but businesses (who do business for a living) may actually know more about making profits than you do!

This may surprise you, but businesses (who do business for a living) may actually know more about making profits than you do! Which is why only large businesses support SOPA, and almost none that work online Because they're small businesses who can actually get popular and have more people buy their stuff through initial piracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anouleth Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 In an environment where music and other intellectual property can be copied almost for free, it's nonsensical to place restrictions upon it. Any attempt to limit the dissemination is creating an artificial scarcity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
