Only if you sold it. Back when cassette tapes first came out, the ~~mystic~~ music industry sued, and the Supreme Court ruled it fair use. So VHS tapes were under the same umbrella. We wouldn't get that same ruling now.

Holy hell, that was one hell of an autocorrect on mobile.

I love how you don't highlight the Israelis murdered in the rocket attacks and other activities that kicked this latest round of conflict off. Almost like the usual suspects don't care if Israelis die. The whole, "we don't believe in mass murder" is complete bullshit. You just want one side to win and you don't give a shit how.

Funny how the usual suspects aren't in here complaining about this. Meanwhile, Joe Biden doesn't kowtow their every policy wish and he's the devil.

It the same mechanism. They can do it, they just don't want to.

They can. I buy and gift games to my son all the time.

Including cell calling?

Just like when Christopher Tolkien died. No one else was left to be passionate about his father's vision and desires.

That info can go stale quickly as content licensing changes. I've ran into that plenty.

There are still plenty of good deals in streaming if you have shifted to on-demand. If you want live TV or sports, they're out to gouge the fuck out of you. Luckily my Wife came around to on-demand only and an antenna. Of course, they're trying hard to take away the antenna option from everyone with ATSC 3.0.

Republicans can be dismissive, hold the left in contempt, threaten to murder us, but hey Hillary looks like an intellectual that won't put up with stupid people, this is a Democrat problem. Fucking "journalism."

I've seen this before in the 90s. The companies that forced out the best, highest paid staff always suffered.
