    Ralph Waldo Emerson:

    A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." His point was that only small-minded men refused to rethink their prior beliefs.

      So what you’re saying is this episode has caused you/others here on /c/piracy to rethink your prior beliefs, and now you see some value in the copyright legal regime?

        Not really. We believe in what we believe. You’re the goblin who sticks on to consistency.

        Piracy is a service problem. If you want it to disappear, corporate greed got to disappear.
