Another reason piracy won't die, companies like I-Tunes do things like this with the songs you 'purchase'

LastPachyderm · 2012-05-26T19:08:07.446334+00:00

1) what is I-Tunes? Perhaps you mean iTunes?

2) iTunes is not a company. It is a service run by Apple, which is a company.

3) this message has nothing to do with your music. It's telling you that your iTunes account is being used on too many computers.

4) iTunes' minimal LEGAL rights management was revolutionary and paved the way for the digital music revolution. It's the reason why piracy is down 90%* from 10 years ago.

5) iTunes quit using DRM for most of its library years ago.

6) just how many computers do you have? Oh, you got this error when you tried to share your music with your 47 best friends? Ah, things are becoming clear now...

Let me remind you of what you said: "if you were doing well enough"

If you want to take someone's argument to extremes, so can I.

If I had a corner coffee shop with three employees that brought in 10 billion dollars of profit annually, you can bet your ballsack that every employee is going to be making AT LEAST $50/hr.

And yes, I do know the business case for reinvesting profits into growth. Is the $137 million that Simon is taking home in the article being discussed being reinvested?

Yes. Thay're part of the company's success. They deserve part of the benefits.

I wear underwear similar to this to race in! Full marathon and no chafing makes me a happy dude!

This was stupid. And offensive. And most definitely not /r/bestof.

Tell me that you want to fuck me and it will make my day. Every thought will be colored by memories of you and visualizations of your naked body pressed against mine and fantasies about what I'm in for when I see you again.

Tell me that you want to fuck me. I want to hear it.

You're a dick. How many times has he rear ended the guy in front? Or gotten t-boned?

Don't do the oven thing. You want to dry it out by absorbing moisture, not by melting sealants on the circuitboards.

I was afraid to click that. But I did. And now I'm glad.

So if Facebook is making $5 per member right now, then they could survive at their current rate by dropping ALL ads and instead charging $5/year for a membership?

I'd pay that. I'd pay twice that. Don't I feel like a big spender.

I smell a business opportunity...

Even better, write an applescript and drop it into your scripts folder.

tell application "Google Chrome"

set myURL to get URL of active tab of first window

set myTitle to get title of active tab of first window

end tell

tell application "Safari" to add reading list item myURL with title myTitle

Valid suggestion if you bought a Lexus and replaced the engine with one from a John Deere tractor.

I, uh, let myself lapse a couple days before running a marathon. So you may have heard that its not all that uncommon to see blood spots from dudes' bleeding nipples. Well, mine that race was in a much different location.

I think the actual number was 385, but that was a long time ago. The C&J was a couple years earlier, but it's the only time I ever won a competition.

Eh, time to board again.
