Still no match for Ulysses or Wizards, but maybe we should limit this to one at a time.

I.. think I am, judging from the post volume and 30k-something users on right now.
In addition I believe someone has finished me off because now even /d/ and the other "orz.4chan.*" links are /z/.
I had asked about the issue on the imageless "lounge" forum. Yep.

My final statement on the matter: I may have a static IP from cable modem but I'll find a way, yes.
Although much faith has been lost in the big M (he might have been the one to do this for a 'frivolous report'.. how ironic, since he had asked us to report this Jim Profit personally in /tg/ weeks ago) the image content is worth it, ban evasion or not.

Update on the "beecock ban" for 4chon: It's back, yet my IP has not changed (from the second one, that was oddly also /z/-banned)
I'll be removing the report button from local HTML (Monkey Tools or w/e for Firefox, change websites you view from a local perspective)

I had resumed using "DNS Client" just so I could clear the cache; didn't work, but a night of having the cable unplugged and modem off probably did the rest.
This move was taken because I suspected DNS cache poisoning. Maybe it was a virus or something, since the 'ban' persisted through IP change.

Not to seem jaded but I'm actually not surprised by this.

More introduction of MP skits to an ever-growing population of previously unexposed youths pretty much guarantees better sales.
It's timeless humor.

Likewise, Spore (game) was the most pirated game in history with 2 million sales but an estimated 1.7 million torrent shares.
The reason: shitty copy protection (you MUST register online) and Nazilike attitude towards valid customers led to proliferation of the cracked version.
Just drop the hacked SporeApp.exe in your folder, and... Oh. I'd better shut up now.

What really got me was the numbers. sales go up to 230 TIMES what they were.

Comments, anyone?

Despite the closet troll effect, I am interested to see if this plays out how I think it will.

Copyright reform advocates have been making this case for years, but people just don't get that giving stuff away actually creates demand for it. Even though supermarkets and restaurants have understood this for years. Or rather, they used to.

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 3:24 am

Even drug dealers know that giving free stuff away creates demand.

Although in their case it works a bit differently and is a bad thing.

Count Arioch the 28th · Thu Jan 29, 2009 3:42 am

All the drug dealers I know say giving away drugs for free is idiotic, and only happens on after-school specials.

Since in most cases it's still a matter of nothing but creating artificial needs, I'm inclined to say it's bad most of the time, despite them doing worse.

Crissa · Post by **Crissa** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 4:20 am

Actually, I don't know any drug dealers that charge for their wares. Or would consider themselves drug dealers, even though the law does.

On that point, I begin wondering if we should disallow someone's opinion on a subject legally if they believe something about the subject which is scientifically disproved.

Must be that thing I hear about people in Cali being more generous than over on our side of the continent. You ain't getting shit for free on this side.

Crissa · Post by **Crissa** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 4:42 am

Well, it's not like you're gonna get stuff free from some gang, but yeah, the good stuff literally grows on trees... Why would you charge for it?

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:08 am

Haha.

"Weed doesn't grow on trees, you know!"
"Yes it does. It seriously does. Look right behind you!"

I just heard tales of the "give a free dose to get them hooked, then charge them however much you feel like."

The only person I know who possessed drugs just gave them to friends for free, being "a good host".

I can vouch for this. The bakery I work at gives out free samples of everything, and the only problem it's had is baking enough bread to keep up with demand.

That's not the case here. Virginia is so different from California that they might as well be different countries altogether. At least, that's what my brother said who lived down there for a year or so, and that's what an acquaintance of mine that grew up there but lives here now says.

Which is part of the reason why I'm moving, I'm tired of dealing with the type of person that Growing up in Virginia tends to produce. Virginians as a whole tend to be prematurely aged, have angry shrieking voices, don't understand a damn thing about how anything works and yet feel the need to bitch about it, and are greedy, selfish, and usually addicted to Methamphetamines. I swear, if I never hear the shriek of the Virginia Hamtroll ever again, then I can die a happy man.
