We could call it the engadget challenge and host it on the 5th of April. Everyone try to refrain from the use of any metaphors for cock or balls. Any takers? Any engadgeteers wanna make this official?

Microsoft facing patent violation accusations in China {Engadget}
Jan 19th 2008 2:06AM they have no choice but to use a pirated operating system? isnt ubuntu a choice? isnt linux a choice? isnt not using a computer a choice? "I cant afford it" isnt a reasonable rationale to steal something if its a luxury. Humanities existed for hundreds of thousands of years without computers so you telling me that "they have no choice" is completely ridiculous. If you want to steal it then thats fine by me, just dont pretend you're some robin hood trying to make the world right by stealing something you dont even need.

just because something overpriced doesnt mean you automatically are justified in pirating it.
maybe I want an infinity g35 but its overpriced. Does that mean me stealing it is justified? No. If you cant afford it dont use it.
If you need a free operating system go get ubuntu.

RIAA not suing over CD ripping, still kinda being jerks about it {Engadget}

you're analogy doesnt hold too well. You're telling me that if someone painted a picture, they'd give it to you for free?
If people made music for free how would you get it? The artist would pay the cost to host a server so you could get free music? I highly doubt that. Most musicians are rich because they made music. They dont make music because they are rich.
I know some people who do the garage band thing but they dont get together and write songs everyday. They get together on occassion to jam recreationally about once a month. You'd be lucky to get three good songs a year out of them.
And well, buying music doesnt mean supporting the RIAA. What if I buy indy or non RIAA member cds?
@ larry
I'm not going to subsidize your illegal activity. Just because you can get away with something doesnt make it moral.
@ seoultrain.
my music drawer has $600 worth of cds. if you cant afford it then ask your friends to buy it for you for xmas etc. Just cause your ipod can hold 160 gigs worth of music doesnt mean you're required to use 160 gigs. realistically my favorite songs occupy 2 gigs tops. I cant imagine someone saying that they regularly listen to or even enjoy more than 30% of the songs on their ipod. Most ipod owners do the whole pod surfing thing. you know, pressing next 12 times and listening to one song, then pressing next 12 more times to get to another song they like.

Dec 30th 2007 4:18PM hes an idiot for wanting to support people for the work they do?
if everyone stole music there'd be no music. The artists would stop making music because they needed to make ends meet and we'd be in a musicless world because everyone wanted to be a cheapass.
