    I think your first paragraph only applies to US or US-like countries. I learned how to navigate unregulated Internet to download most things I could fit, and then expanded into more technical knowledge as I grew up. I know of the things you said in your first paragraph now, but I did not grow up beside them to have learned what I know today, or even what I knew back then. These computers were expensive (for us?) at first, so very few people had them, and then a few years later they were more abundant and easier for us to even have a chance to learn about them.

    I remember seeing some scenes of this show as I passed by the TV. I couldn't not laugh at the things that happen on this show lol.

    What? You didn't have to leave school early when you were 16 because you had to go handle a Mafia trying to extort money from you because you own a fucking speakeasy?? Pssh, you didn't have good teenage years then lol.

    “[T]he court finds that, by reproducing the content of the works (books) in dispute, without the consent of the authors, there has been a violation of the patrimonial copyright of the plaintiffs,” the Court of Appeals added.

    You know what else reproduces the content of the works, with or without consent from the authors, a... Monitor. All those filthy pirates using monitors to read their pirated books. 🤮 They should sue the monitor manufacturers. Hell, they should sue Microsoft too, for also reproducing the pirated content and allowing them to hit "save" 😡

    Will they sue people who wake up from using the alarm clock because these people would be making money (their job) from the effects of this alarm clock (waking up)?

  • The games industry is undergoing a 'generational change,' says Epic CEO Tim Sweeney: 'A lot of games are released with high budgets, and they're not selling'

    I'm gonna take a wild guess that the games with high budgets that aren't "selling", are just not selling "enough" to cover the "costs" of the executives. I guess it wasn't much of a guess:

    and they're not selling nearly as well as expected," Sweeney said. "Whereas other games are going incredibly strong

    Do they think that these other games "going incredibly strong" are making the money they hope to make? They're probably making much less but managing it much better. The savings are almost infinite when you don't approve every executive bonus pay package.

    ... "bad for the stability and longevity" of the shareholders. If a publicly traded company tried anything other than "line go up", it might still be stable and long lasting.

    "They opened the door and ran from me" (pointing at the minor). So just opening the door is enough for them to force their foot in and suddenly, "I'm allowed in because you opened the door and my foot is inside already". Then they wonder why no one would want to open the door to them 🤦. Gotta teach the kids to talk through the door, I guess.
