These tactics are everywhere money is involved. These are used against me dozens of times a day, in advertisements, marketing, and just going about my business. I think that everyone has a duty to render themselves immune to these and other

We're making mountains out of molehills. Don't build your shit on a platform you could reasonably expect to be taken away from you. Company management often sees piracy (and sex) as a plague that can erode customer and investor support in t

Actually that was a typo... I can't go back and edit it now... I meant to say "desireable" :-)

The non-geeks -- at least, the ones that can afford Netflix, Hulu, etc -- are satisfied. iTunes/Spotify/Grooveshark has most-to-all of the music they want, Hulu and Netflix cover the video stuff... there doesn't seem to be as much piracy co
