wow the cross colours jacket and a leather derby, add into that him doing the running man = classic.
Something occured to me though. This was about making copies of games and then sharing them. So they are saying one person gets the game and then shares it for free with hunreds maybe thousands and more.
But how is that different from what say where I work does.
Blockbuster buys say 20 copies of a game. They rent each game out hundreds of times. So while they are buying tons of games, the kids renting them ain't buying them. Plus unlike file sharing, BB charges for the rental of the game.
Now I know that the video and game industry makes a large chunk of money off rental chains so they don't care. But the kids renting these games are profiting only BB and not the games company or software designer or whoever else was in that godawful MPEG.
But if you get down to it, it's basically the same thing in my view or correct me if I am wrong.
