I demand to know the criteria for the cat tags that can be both “awesome” and “shameless”

They SING the wall down?!?? That’s some fucking hippie feel-good pollyana shit that totally ignores the necessary pragmatism of geopolitical realities. Maybe Springsteen coulda brought it down. He recently demolished Giants Stadium with ferocity, you should know.

In response to your points:
1. Yeah, makes you feel old, right?
2. Well, it’s a free blog. You get what you pay for.

The problem with piracy is manifold and very complex. The problems of today’s modern piracy is that it’s essentially free to reproduce and distribute any digital information, be it a video game, album, or news article. If you don’t want to pay, there will be somewhere to get it. What I don’t like about Anderson’s speech is that he says the economy is moving completely to the “free model,” but offers no insight into exactly how that is viable. You still have to pay someone to produce the information.

Perhaps if everyone stopped paying, they’ll stop producing, and everyone will realize the real cost of information.

Two things, first: #1. 1992 is 17 years ago already. Crazy. #2. Twaddle, indeed.

Anyway, your point is well taken. If people don’t want to pay, maybe it’s just not that good. Collective quality control. True of games and music, but I’m not sure how it will pan out for the industrial news complex, on which our free society depends. This is what concerns me.
