Stop justifying your lack of ethics

So Matt Gemmell has yet another "Why it's okay to steal" post up on his self-named site: "The Piracy Threshold"

It's yet another load of shit that has the same bullshit thievery justifications that a six-year-old would laugh at.

"You do bad things, so stealing from you is okay"

"You won't make things only slightly more difficult than mouthing the phrase "I WANT IT NOW" so stealing from you is okay"

"You use DRM, so stealing from you is okay"

"You won't charge what *I* think you should charge for your product so stealing from you is okay"

"You won't give me my way in all things, so stealing from you is okay"

It's the same five arguments that Matt, and his other Veruca Salt wannabes spout off with.

Fuck all of them. If you take it without paying for it, and it wasn't yours, regardless of if you COPIED it, or TOOK it, you STOLE it, you're a fucking thief. Spare me the lame justifications for your actions.

Don't like the price?

Don't buy it, don't steal it, don't use it.

Don't like the implementation by which you access it?

Don't buy it, don't steal it, don't use it.

In other words, do the grown-up thing and boycott the motherfuckers. But Matt and all his other little douchey pirate friends, (and as far as I'm concerned, if you're defending this shit, you may as well be stealing it, you have the same lack of ethics, just less motivation) are sure as shit not going to put themselves out. You mean actually do without what we want? Not have what we want RIGHT FUCKING NOW so that we can change things? FUCK THAT! I'll write a blog post, or change my twitter avatar, then go out and steal shit.

Matt and his moronic clique will never actually consider that hey, if we all publicly boycott shit, the people we dislike aren't making money, and hey, we aren't a pack of thieves. Because that dear reader, would inconvenience Matt, and lemme tell you about douchey little millenials like Matt: They won't do shit that inconveniences them. It's why old fuckers actually run the world, because they occasionally get off their asses and do things, even if it inconveniences them.

Keep in mind that when Matt is ranting and raging about OMG PRICE, the majority of his clique bitch about songs that cost a buck-buck thirty, and heaven fucking HELP you if your App costs more than a buck. Or zero. THere is no price, no level of convenience that these turds will ever accept to not steal your shit.

But man, they will spend WEEKS justifying how it's YOUR fault for MAKING them steal YOUR work, because YOU'RE CHARGING TOO MUCH and YOU didn't make it so ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS FORM THE DESIRE IN THEIR HEADS. Cocksuckers, the lot of them.

Never listen to anyone telling you that you made them steal your work, because in the end, they were never going to pay for it anyway.
