"1337" Fatigue
20 Jan 2012 23:42Yup. My day was pretty much chewed up and spat out by my helping out with the week's shopping, so I suspect I will now not have the opportunity to complete Dancers of Freeport by "close of play" Sunday, but if I get a chance to work on it, I will. Saturday is a bit messed up, too, but that's my own doing, and I'm entirely cool with it. I want to see War Horse on the big screen...
...and not on a computer screen as a grainy knock-off.
I went to the cinema sixteen times last year - eighteen if you include the two occasions I paid for someone to come with me. For me, that's a record, and no, it wasn't cheap. I didn't begrudge the cost once. Yeah, so maybe Green Lantern and Super 8 could have been better, and yes, I did buy GL on BluRay/DVD when it came out, but I made the conscious decision that the big-screen experience was worth the outlay.
Unlike some people who want everything for nothing. There are numerous words and terms to describe such people, and "information liberators" is not one of them. Nor is "defender of cyber-freedom". How about "Thief"? There. I said it. And it fits just fine.
Someone creates something, and you pay for it - that's how the whole world works. Someone creates something, and you just take it - that's theft.
Oh, and people like "Anonymous" just want the internet for themselves, and us ordinary folk, we're not "kewl" enough to play in their "Magic Kingdom". Our "kung fu" is not strong enough, apparently, and Neo and Trinity just gotta have their Matrix...
