June 26: ...but your OCD wouldn't let you go cold turkey:darwinsm:
I left because of a workload and I'll come back as it suits me. Your attempt to create something from that is just an expression of your hostility and ache from the splinters you gave yourself.
I asked a simple question "Free downloads of copyrighted material?"
So your answer is, "yes, free downloads of copyrighted material"
:thumb:See how much easier that is than the nonsense you banged out?
Back to your source for free downloads of copyrighted material - you assume they are legit because ... reasons
No, actual reasons given and no contrary reason to believe that Minnesota Public Radio and its legal department are doing anything untoward, unlike you. You were taking benefit from stolen goods. You might as well be a thief if you're going to do that. And you were inviting others by your conduct. Tam, by way of illustration.
I clipped the rest of your childish nonsense
If I reciprocated there'd just be your username and an ellipse.
Now, to get back to the site that first caused your distress:
So naturally, you, being a paragon of superior virtue, having been made aware of this criminal activity, immediately reported it to the civil legal authorities.
Rather, I noted a potential problem and your actions, which were at the very least a violation of the policy of TOL and at worst potentially involving them in it. Either way you shouldn't be doing it. I get why you want to make it about something else, but it still isn't.
Btw N - didja notice how he pretended to respond to you in order to pretend he wasn't responding to me?
His comments interested me and it was easy enough to answer the couple of distorted points you were making there.
And didja notice that in "responding" to you, he completely ignored your comments about Reddit and Tor?
There are all sorts of entangled legal questions involved and a lot of them haven't been worked out. My interest was narrower, protecting the site from any potential exposure and getting that rules violation off its pages.
Now I like this thread, so I'm not going to let you turn it into a strutting yard of dishonest nonsense in my absence. You should just go create another thread no one will read if you want to do that.
This one is on lockdown until I come back from finals. :e4e:
