They stole that font as well.

@benroyce @davefischer @petko I remember when VCRs weren't criminalized.

@petko

Hahaha, yes! And they wonder why things go the way they do.

@SuperMoosie @anthropy @davefischer @petko

searching...

OH MY FUCKING GOD

you're right! that too

the music and the font, stolen

fucking hypocritical assholes

“You wouldn’t steal a car” anti-piracy campaign may have used pirated fonts

Digging into archived site points to use of questionable text styling.

@petko Whenever I hear people complaint about people pirating from billionaires or big companies, I'm always reminded of this quote from South Park: 'Man must learn to think of these horrible outcomes before he acts selfishly, or else, I fear… recording artists will be forever doomed to a life of only semi-luxury'

@petko I'll take purchase, thank you. Not that you can actually purchase and own much of anything anymore.

Netflix cancelled my subscription and stole my gift card balance of more than 50 Euros, telling me they won't refund it, because FUCK YOU!

This is so me now, because FUCK YOU Netflix!

@benroyce @anthropy @davefischer @petko Interesting story about Buma/Stemra with the music for the "one time ad".....

@petko I would only be downloding for Legitimate interest to train my memory....

Now. What SHALL we do with the drunken sailor?

Way hay and up, she rises

@petko real.

@petko Piracy is a strictly superior way of watching any movies or shows, IMO

@petko We keep spendin’ most our lives livin’ in the pirate’s paradise

@davefischer @petko remember that this was on DVDs and paying customers could not skip it.

@mason @benroyce @davefischer @petko and when stereos came with 2 cassette decks so you could easily make your own mixtapes

@petko trying to watch a popular series of movies & they've only got the 2 latest ones, not the rest, with the backstory

Streaming video could have been "one site, watch anything from a century of films", but no

@petko@social.petko.me "недоступно в вашей стране"

Ну и идите нахуй ​​

@petko Accurate.

@petko aaaah. I download everything.. So zero subscription

@petko

A similar case could be made about American IT and financial services. The near monopoly. Spyware. You are the product. Manipulation. Microsoft who shut down their services for an International Court judge on demand from the Trump administration. Economic integration weaponised for extortion.

Distrust is bad for business.
