After a lengthy $10,000,000 lawsuit, TorGuard has conceded to movie studios and is now banning BitTorrent traffic and is now keeping logs on American users and servers.
Guess what? While you’re pirating the content you watch, the rest of the world that doesn’t know how to pirate is paying for Fast 45 and Transformers 27… Geee…I wonder why they keep making those movies and not the ones you like?
Is the implication here that the average pirate has statistically different entertainment preferences than the general population? That it’s pirates fault that investors choose an established safe brand over novel, compelling, yet risky storytelling? I find myself skeptical.
It’s response to a complaint. Vote with your dollar. Just as with voting in elections, you don’t get to complain when you’re not participating in any capacity that has an impact on the result.
Vote with your dollar means rich people get way more votes.
