- GFischer 16y agoWell, it is true that he has a legal avenue to acquire the files (as long as he waits for the delay imposed by Amazon US). But I wouldn't call them complete hypocrites. Globalization has made us desire stuff we then can't acquire - very often artificially, in the case of entertainment, by way of publicity, positive reviews like in this case, etc. Hypocrite: "a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion. 2. : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings" The author is rationalizing (as I often do as well), but I wouldn't say he's an hypocrite, unless he refuses to pay at the time when he has a legal avenue to do so. (BTW, I did read the article - I might have taken the wrong conclusions, but still)
