I saw that exact quote the other day in a piracy thread. First time I'd seen it.. nice to be there when a meme is born.

I love this quote. Imagine giving money to someone and getting nothing in return. fml

However, just because something isn’t for sale it doesn’t mean you aren’t stealing it.

I wouldn't use a purple drive, those are for security camera feeds.

I just punched in 12tb drive and that was the first one. I could drop in a 4gb scsi drive instead?

WD Red for data hoarding/NAS. People like Barracuda drives as well but I've had bad luck with Seagate reliability in the past.

Also, purples tend to cost more because they are rated for surveillance.

Aka 24/7 read writes of video files. Purples are fine for achieving just pop an SSD cache in your server

The purple drives work well for any write-heavy workload that's constantly writing to disk. Surveillance is just the primary use case.

You can buy drm free games to download and keep forever on gog.com, and music on bandcamp.com and qobuz.com

Btw if you buy a physical copy through bandcamp, you get digital download and streaming included

Let's be honest, who reads the terms and conditions when they buy something? And no lying.

I read it on important/big purchases, but definitely not on video games.

If they revoke my license, then I'll just pirate it.

If they revoke your license you should get a full refund tbh.

If it's worth $n to access something, then the damages for revoking it should also be $n.

Thanks for my $3 for taking away my ability to run linux on PS3 :(

I buy media to support the creators because the ad driven economy is killing the internet.

Yes, a large chunk of that doesn’t make it to the creators.

It’s still better than ad revenue by a large margin.
