Digital Piracy Is Evil/Quotes: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"How do you think this stuff gets made?<br />

You think artists create if they don't get paid?<br />

It's the only reason they do what they do,<br />

It's not the flipping work, most of that's poo!<br />

They depend on the money that you idiots give,<br />

So they can make more crap and so they can live<br />

The good life! Yes, the life of the stars,<br />

But you're taking their pools and you're taking their cars!<br />

{{quote|''"Peer-to-peer file sharing and Terror? Terror? Do they not have dictionaries there? There's another T word you cocks might like, too--give it a try: it's called "Tenuous." The only people terrorized by peer-to-peer file sharing are vastly potent multinational businesses, '''gripped by the realization that they sell carriages in a world of bullet trains'''.''<br />

{{quote|"And before the movie I have to sit through the dvd piracy warning, which we can all agree is getting on our collective tits. It's just the patronizing nature of it. They go, 'You wouldn't steal a handbag, you wouldn't steal a car, so why would you steal a movie?' I'm sitting there going, 'Don't tell me what I would and wouldn't do. You don't know me. I am drunk at four o'clock in the afternoon in my pants about to watch women be tortured to death in an underground bunker in Eastern Europe, you're telling me I wouldn't nick a poxy handbag? I think you don't know me very well at all, Sir.'" |Ed Byrne, [[Mock the Week]], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G16Jk0VIEkY Youtube Link]}}

{{quote|''If your conscience lets you pirate stuff, which you know damn well is theft, that's your business and nothing anyone says will stop you. Please spare me the excuses, I will never, ever agree with them and I don't want to think any less of you because of it.''|'''[[Gail Simone]]''', [http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showpost.php?p=10437814&postcount=1 here].}}

''I transmit our song! They say that's it wrong 'cause I never paid them the dough.''<br />

{{quote|''Piracy is not raiding and plundering Best Buys and [[FY Es]]FYEs, smashing the windows and running out with the loot. It’s like being placed in a store full of every DVD in existence. There are no employees, no security guards, and when you take a copy of movie, another one materializes in its place, so you’re not actually taking anything. If you were in such a store, you’d only have your base moral convictions to keep you from cloning every movie in sight. And anyone who knows how to get to this store isn’t going to let their conscience stop them, especially when there is no tangible “loss” to even feel bad about.''|''Paul Tassi, Forbes contributor''}}
