Wait what? I thought that was different from the piracy thing? Or is it all on the same bill? Skimming through that article I don't see anything about pirating. Didn't even see that, maybe he meant to post in this thread?

Lots of things pass the House that don't pass the Senate. Being optimistic here for once, it shouldn't pass.

If free downloading was impossible, I wouldn't listen to music. Simple as that. As for movies, I've tried torrenting before and I always run into errors so I can't watch pirated movies. Even with this being the case, I don't go to the movies or buy a DVD unless somebody is paying for me.

Wait, is the tournament on Shoddy or not? I thought you could just input whatever EV's/IV's you wanted.

Oh, but in capitalism, it is. If a company wants to survive, they must adapt to the market- Not try to force the market to adapt to them. Excellent question. When you go to a record store and buy a CD or Vinyl, you are paying for physical media. You can't reproduce that physical media for a cost of much less than a cent (If you count the electricity that the file operation uses, which isn't even done by the media company). What about production costs, then? Concerts, of course. Just like physical media, you can't infinitely reproduce the experience of seeing a band or musician live. The media companies are producing the right thing but selling the wrong thing. It's a little bit like this: Imagine a company that makes boats. Instead of selling the actual boats, they sell boat rides for so much money that people start sneaking on. They're producing the right thing but selling the wrong thing. You could say that selling the boats themselves is more like what media companies are doing now, but it gets my point across: They're selling the wrong thing. What should they sell then if it's not music? :?

Please don't tell me that propaganda is being serious.

Not really, the Japanese made the games, they deserve to give their country the best.

Would that mean that over time these traces of data would make one's computer more sluggish, or at the very least have less space on the hard drive?

Hopefully they will release it for North America too.
