Your comment is an insult to cheesy heist movies.

I don't think it's "most" online leftists; I think it just seems that way because the rest aren't posting stupid shit.

I wouldn't argue just that it should be; I would argue that it is and we have a massive problem with the FTC failing to enforce existing law.

What, did Windows somehow get better?

Good way to avoid getting paint on your clothes. 👍

Conveying something to someone in perpetuity (i.e. "selling" it to them) when you don't have the right to do so is fraud. Just because Amazon or whoever's right to continue offering the thing ended doesn't mean their customers' property rights somehow end with it.

It's exactly as absurd as a car dealer stealing back all the cars they previously sold just because they ended their agreement with the manufacturer.

There is absolutely no sane world in which stealing your customers' property could ever be the "only legal resolution!"

That, by itself, is absolutely outrageous and absurd. The game developer's failure to license the music appropriately is between them and the music copyright holder; nothing gives them the right to steal the content back from the third parties they conveyed it to in perpetuity.

That's not "questionable," that's straight-up evil and totalitarian. There's not any ambiguity about it, at all: the ESA wants to destroy private property ownership and subjugate us all as cattle to be milked.

It doesn't fucking matter. Not even a little bit. It's 1000% an attack on property rights and must be stopped by any means necessary.

I feel like excessive parking for cars is a much worse problem than inadequate parking for bikes. But yes, parking for bikes could be better (and very easily, too).

I think stuff continued to get better for a long time after 1991, but upvote for Tandy.

(I wish I still had my Tandy 1000 RLX/HD.)
