- aero142 14y agoYes, and when they go out of business and post their sad little page about how content producers can't make money in this age of piracy, are you going to believe them and support the next internet clampdown legislation, or are you going to remember that their business model was dumb and they deserve to go out of business(not the HBO is making the wrong choice, it is probably the correct choice for them).
- doktrin 14y agoThat is a straw man argument. Throwing up a smokescreen of "big government Internet clampdown" is not a justification for theft. Whether or not you agree with their business model is irrelevant. They have a right to protect their content, full stop.
