my life sucks

Can you really take a guy dressed up as a bat seriously in a drama?

I refuse to see the new batman movie.

To start, batman isn’t even a superhero. He’s just a guy that dresses up like a bat and attempts to fight crime. He is routinely beat up by his ‘normal guy’ enemies, and gets hurt from things like punches, shoves, and the like.

Take away the ’superhero’ element, you have a movie about a guy who dresses up like a bat, and tries to fight crime.

Oh wait, it’s a drama? A guy dressed up like a bat is the main character in a drama? Alright, i’m out.

regarding the idiots who believe obama is the anti-christ

Don’t you think if the anti-christ did exist, he would have read the bible, and changed everything about himself to reflect the exact opposite of what it says the anti-christ would be?

The bible made up the bit about the antichrist being muslim because christians are inherently the enemies of muslims. What better way to turn society against your enemy than to make up a book that says the big invisible ruler of existence will also be the enemy of your enemy?

If the anti-christ exists, he’s in office right now.

the world would be a better place if we all ignored dmca complaints.

Some fuckneck has been sending photos.cx a shit load of abuse complaints bitching specifically about screenshots of porn, porn from companies who have hired him.

If you’ve ever seen those little galleries of thumbnails that people make from movies with ‘media player classic’, you know what I’m talking about. This guy has reported at least a hundred of them, and sends me at least 3 emails a day telling me to remove them.

lately, i’ve de-prioritized every email he’s sent me by 5 days, because I believe his complaints are frivilous. He’s just a fuckneck who is abusing the law to bank a dollar from people who are far more morally bankrupt than the people who are uploading to my service.

Which brings us to my point. The dmca is fucking stupid. The internet was a much better place before existed, and I believe the no attention was paid to the possibilities of fair use when it was signed into law.

I’m not a real firm follower of the law, and I’ve never been afraid to break it whenever I felt like it. I don’t believe the law should be a reason to not do something, it should only be used as a loose guideline for determining if something should be done. If you can justify breaking the law, or don’t believe the law’s existence was properly justified by the government, you shouldn’t be afraid to break it. If you were right to break the law, nobody will be affected. I seriously doubt anyone is losing money because I let some people upload some thumb sized images porn. Hell, the creators of the porn give more content than that out for free on their websites.
