From the article...
I'm honestly surprised they didn't throw the word 'terrorist' into that description as well.
There are vegans that were dictators. Therefore veganism should be illegal. Also some people who breath air have been known to be murderers.
I think maybe they are describing themselves.
Everybody knows movie pirates eat babies—
Wait.
Pirate Bay.
Pirate Ba(b)y?
Pirate Babe Eat?
I think you're on to something!
Especially eye-roll-inducing considering the pedophile problem in Hollywood hasn't really gotten better, let alone been solved. Many of the exec types demanding things change are likely to be either perpetrators themselves, or sympathisers with the perpetrators of this behavior, and they tell us what we should believe is right or wrong based on the almighty dollar? Fuck Hollywood in general, but especially fuck the movie industry executives in charge. Greedy bastards.
Aren’t those things already illegal? Wouldn’t the solution be to just go after the pirate-site owners for those reasons? Then the only pirate-site owners remaining will be regular people—the vast minority, they would have you believe.
Are we surprised that the people that make up fantastical scenarios are selling a fantastical scenario? The people pirating are every day people that don't want to pay so much for entertainment. You inept dolt.
Hostile much, conflict bot?
And people accuse me of wooshness. 😋
I'm upset at the movie executive that is inept. Not you.
The way you bolted that on to a comment that was directed at me, and have it meant for someone else, seems a little unusual, but fair enough.
Thanks for the clarification.
Yea. I was definitely talking to the exec. But I see the confusion. I should have quoted him or something.
