Having an IM conversation with someone in Iran, turns out they "hate" Bush...so random. But I had to reply, "that's why I voted for Obama" 6 hrs ago
No wonder the RIAA/MPAA hates us so much:
“I don’t know if you will know the answer to this, but I was wondering if the ___ dvd is reproducible like the cd is?”
After this comment it seems to me that the common person thinks it’s ok to reproduce copyrighted CDs because their computer allows it. I don’t get people sometimes.
[Thinking] Why do I care? I just download everything. I guess I’m annoyed by people that don’t know how to “steal” the…
