What??? People who are fed up with the megacorpos shittin on everyone, aren't willing to pay for the services of those megacorpos when the free/torrent sources are removed? I am shocked!
But, but the corporations are telling us that they loose so much money from all those people who are pirating and therefore not 'buying' their stuff.
I mean the numbers they showed where huge! Hmm, maybe they forgot to carry the one or swapped some +/- diring their calculations.
These corpos have PhDs in creative accounting. A billion dollar revenue at the box office would still count as a loss on the ledger so as to fuck over everyone naive enough to opt to get paid out from "net profit"
