Damn man, I’m disappointed. Couldn’t you have done it through daco’s server and I.D.? You know, frame him? With all the geek magic you perform that should have been simple.

I’m busy using his server and ID to host all those dirty websites.

Don’t even try. AT is so smart he is able to shadow your moves on that system. Then, not if, but when you break something, he can fix it. You will be calling.

Man Jacket, has he got you snowed. He’s really not that damn smart. Sure he’s tall and good lookin’, but hell man…the boy is dumber than a coal bucket.

LOL daco!!

I guess when you’re tall and good lookin’ that ought to be enough!!

He’s smart enough to run a porn operation from your site and you can’t seem to get it stopped. I wouldn’t go so far as to say he is good looking though. I don’t have the ability to judge a guy on his looks, good or otherwise.

I know. It’s called “plausible deniability.” I only let you rubes think that it is his porn operation.

I have to say the tone of this comment thread is weak compared to the comment thread on “busted” that AT linked to above.

AT has laid down some pretty heady stuff. Consider, Hell, if I were bold enough, I’d damn near say in this day and age that peer to peer downloading is the geeky man’s civil disobedience. Civil disobedience!?? for crying out loud. Is down loading Heroes what Thoreau had in mind?

The tumor has gotten fat. Where’s the smack down acrimony of comments of yore? Where’s it gone?

Well, chief, maybe if you’d descend from your high horse of washing machines and babies and comment on your website a time or two, you’d be steering things in the right direction.
How would you not define it as such?

Let me clarifie. I actually think you’re right about the peer to peer being an act of civil disobedience.

I’m just surprised no body has called you on it. It’s breaking the law, right? Seems last time this came around it generated a pretty heated discussion. What’s changed? Is everbody at the tumor a downloading pirate?

I don’t know, perhaps it’s lack of sleep, but my comments above are harsh beyond what I’d intended.

I regret that.

Dude, I think you’re right. Maybe everybodys scared I’ll kircher em if they cross me?

Does civil disobedience = consumer disobedience? Seems like the epitome of consumer culture co-option.

From my perspective, if the laws at this point are being written by those with the money to afford the lawyers and politicians (ie, current copyright, DMCA, etc), then we’ve reached a point where yes, its the same thing.
