But why it should be my (or parent) problem? If they can't do their job by figuring it out, why do they feel entitled to anything?

But why it should be my (or parent) problem?
If they can't do their job by figuring it out, why do they feel entitled to anything?
- flyinRyan 14y agoUh, what? They don't feel entitled. They're doing what they want and making money. It's those who say "well I'm just taking it then" that are being "entitled".
- guard-of-terra 14y agoNo, they aren't entitled. They just take. They are doing what they want and having entertainment. Don't you think it is symmetric? HBO is doing what they want and making money. Torrenters are doing what they want and having entertainment. So why blame people for stealing even if the owner doesn't? Who are you to blame anyone if the "victim" doesn't feel affected by "crime"? Who are you?
- flyinRyan 14y agoWhat exactly would HBO need to do to prove to you they care about copyright infringement?
- guard-of-terra 14y agoAccept my money. And money of other countless beings who watch Game of Thrones outside of USA.
- flyinRyan 14y agoI don't like how things have worked out with HBO but they apparently feel that the money they could make selling direct is dwarfed by what they make via channel partners. They are taking steps to try and protect their IP, just not the ones who want them to take. Claiming that this means they don't care about IP at all is, frankly, childish.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoWhat they are doing is childish. They want to sit on their rights and have those protected at the same time. It's like eating an apple and still having it. Not only that - they actively harm the whole market by doing so. People outside USA are forced to torrent their shows, and when they learned torrent they proceed to download other media, too, that they could have paid for. You do not "take steps". "Taking steps" isn't the same as caring about something. The way they "take steps" is inherently peristaltic.

- guard-of-terra 14y agoThat's why my door locks aren't easily opened unless you bring TNT. But you got the question wrong. There is no metaphor involving doors and locks about seller being unable to sell and thus losing money.
