RE: Piracy?
Was thinking about this today when I was searching (ahem ahem) for something.

People are getting wayy too touchy about all these intellectual property thing. I have profs who forbid us to upload lecture recordings on anywhere other than the school forum. I mean you say things in a lecture, what's so bad about letting someone else who can't afford to go to school listen to it as well? It's rather ridiculous to be a scientist and a teacher just to serve this small group of students who a) can afford to pay and b) chose to take your course in their brief stay at a uni. If you try to get access to a scientific paper without subscription, it costs 35bucks per paper. So now you have to pay for knowledge. There was this comic (may have been someone else) who said we have so many empty houses that we would rather keep empty than let the homeless people live in. People need to get some perspectives.

They made a huge mistake in calling it piracy. Arrrrr, it sounds so cool, arrrrrr.

And you payed for most scientific papers to be created in the first place, lolololololol.

I've paid to download iTunes (or was it Napster?). But since then, I use Spotify, so it's all free.
