>Internet piracy isn’t ethically justifiable

it's quite easy once you realize buying isn't owning

>Digital video piracy is costing the US economy between $29.2 and $71 billion each year.

these numbers are so laughably vague and only exist to justify the existence of the content mafia.

>URLs properly and any typos are a one-way ticket to Scam City. Chances are reasonable Google has the correct website

googles no1 spot has become scam city hundreds of times for big namens just this year alone

>Bookmarks, you say? Can't be arsed.

in the time you complained about this problem of your own creation you could habe bookmarked your top 20-50 visited sites.

off topic but i see more and more "I'm too lazy to do x" where the solution would be easier than just being "lazy"

its facebook....assuming anything but the worst handling of user data is beyond foolish
"Apple sells there users searches to Google for $18 Billion"

>[Apple] still mostly protects privacy

>denying Google more data about me
