eclipse Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I really, really hope this is a joke. It's like saying that if I steal a loaf of bread and sell it piecemeal to beggars, I'm "employed" by Wonder. It's as much of a joke as this entire topic, your logic, and your existence on these boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blademaster! Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Piracy has been consistently proven to help all forms of entertainment industries consistently. Musicians make most of their money from concerts and people will always want to go see movies in theaters. If piracy hurt the entertainment industry so much, why are records being broken for the amount of going to see movies on opening night? Why did the anime industry report a 5% net increase in sales, the first time a growth in the industry occurred in five years? Why are gaming sales still so strong?

Geriba Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 That's sorta why unpartnered LPers don't make money illegally, while partnered ones sign contracts and get paid money for them legally :B You just said what it exactly is. Bolded words are corrections. Just because you're not making a profit doesn't mean it's legal. Again, I can steal bread and give it away! For free! You think that excuse will work with the authorities? Besides, a good percentage of LPers make money without partnerships anyway. So much for your hopelessly naive black-and-white conception of how the world works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 This topic needs to be moved to Serious Discussion because SOPA is Serious Business. Wait, SOPA is. This topic (and the user who started it) is a joke anyway so I guess I see why it's kept in this section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for your hopelessly naive black-and-white conception of how the world works. But I'm not stealing anything with LPs :B I'm getting a lot of anger from you. Did an LPer take your lunch money one day? Dude I'm sorry I just can't take you seriously xD Put down the thesaurus and stop trying to seem more intelligent than you are :B I've never heard of any LPers making money off of their videos without being partnered. Every LPer I know (and I know a lot, since, y'know, I'm in the industry (damn, Hika's right, that does sound weird)) that makes money off of their videos is either partnered through the Game Station, Machinima, or Fullscreen. Never has an LPer made money off of their LP videos without being partnered, and if they did, it wasn't for long, because unless you're partnered, if you try to monetize a video that contains a game, YT will take it down.

Geriba Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 My job right now is perfectly legal and fine~ And it shouldn't be. That's the whole point of this topic, knucklehead. It's as much of a joke as this entire topic, your logic, and your existence on these boards. A stunning rejoinder. Are you incapable of reading the sub-heading of the topic before posting? Serious replies only. Since when am I stealing anything? :< Oh right you totally ignored Nintendo appreciating LPs Then it's up to Nintendo to make it legal. Until they do so publicly, the law's hands would be tied. Not complicated. Piracy has been consistently proven to help all forms of entertainment industries consistently. For the 98158th time, you can do what you want with your own intellectual property. But the default should be pro-owner, not pro-pirate. Kapeesh?

Aleph Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 is the emoticon that appears at the very, very beginning of the emoticon list. just pointing that out So it occurred to me that you honestly believe a resource is having its availability removed from its creator in the horrible examples you've proposed (or are being paid in dick to pretend you do).

Geriba Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 This topic needs to be moved to Serious Discussion because SOPA is Serious Business. Finally, someone with the good sense to take this seriously. Dude I'm sorry I just can't take you seriously xD As you yourself have said, you play video games for a living. Who are you to talk about taking people "seriously"? By the way, if you really need a thesaurus to understand my posts, then maybe it's time to put down the controller and pick up a book. It's clear that you don't want to discuss this matter maturely. Once you change that (might take a couple of years), feel free to come back and try again.

Your argument seems to be something like, "But I enjoy taking other people's intellectual property without permission! That's what I do for a living? Jealous? ~~" Just sort of sad, really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's lots of stupid people with a high school diploma. Like the OP. I know, just wanted to try and give him some credit. I don't like thinking that adults are this dumb >: No. My argument is "People have a right to their own intellectual property, and should make its public access explicit before anyone can use it." Your argument seems to be something like, "But I enjoy taking other people's intellectual property without permission! That's what I do for a living? Jealous? ~~" Just sort of sad, really You'd think with how long LPs have been going on, Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft would've said something if they disliked it. A few of them said they appreciated it. Oh but it's not legal because they never said it was legal! So yeah your argument is pretty much "It's bad because it's not explicitly legal!" :B And I'm not taking anyone's intellectual property without permission, otherwise someone would have stopped me~ Edited January 23, 2012 by seph1212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
