I hate this casual attitude people have that diminishes the struggle of the artist and assumes that entertainment is open source. It reeks of entitlement.

How can you think differently on an undeniable fact.

The people acting all righteous about their "right" to watch pirated films are just tightwads.

For how much I love learning, there are times when I'm overwhelmed with this feeling that I'm a shitty student. It's the kind of dissonance that drives one mad.

And yet people call governments criminals for shutting down sites like The Pirate Bay.

If you're not going to pay for it, you simply don't get to use it. You wouldn't go into a store, claim a 72" screen television to be open-source and leave with it without expecting consequences.
