We own it, that is the bottom line. We do what we want. Nobody will stop me/us who choose to do more with are media. It is not how i want it, it is how 50% of the world wants it. I just have the balls to speak out against them & restrictions ,since i am one of many who make them rich ! To think about it ,i do have the right to speak my mind or even demand it as a customer who increases there revenue. If they want to sell me limited products that can do so much more? Then i say FU to the sellers of those products. I find myself a better product which does not cause grief to me as a customer, by silencing my audio of my movies, just because i want to watch my movies on a device that can hold all my media. I enjoy having my own type of NETFIX collection/movie covers .I am proud to purchase & own a product that allows me to stream my media with no interference. I paid for it ,so i will stream the crap out of them all day long in digital form ripped by yours truly. So you want to obey & bow down to these scum? They do not want you to copy to any device . They want you to buy multiple copies. They want to sell you another copy if you break the first. They want to sell you services like NETFLIX & others alike, while you pay to watch movies at your finger tips. Which we can do this in are own home with the movies we buy! They want to re sell you the same old products/games on a new console. Blah ,Blah , Blah .. It is ok, if you want to be one of the suckers in the bunch. Go ahead be my guest, they love people who do not speak out against them & stay silent while they rule over you like sheep. I am not one to keep my mouth shut , or stand there & not fight when i see someone wants to hurt me, or to follow people who try to control me & the world. The last thing i will do is say "YES MASTER" to any controlling corporation. They who sell products that interrupt my entertainment ,will not fill there pockets with my money. When they clearly know they can sell a better product ,that is not infected & allow you to watch or play games the way you want to. As a veteran customer who has supported for them for decades, i have every right to speak my mind. Nobody demanded nothing here or in my post. It is simple ,if there is something in a product that will interfere with your experience .Then buy the products that do not interfere with your digital experience. The sellers of products who gives you freedom, will be the ones who win in the future, not the products with spyware / firmware infection.

No one is forcing you to buy any of these products that are causing you to have a mental breakdown here in front of us. If you don't like a product or manufacturer of a product, don't buy it. The solution to your problem with these companies is simple, don't support them, and that actually seems to be what you are suggesting, the problem is you don't seem to be able to resist the products they make, and therefore are unable to live by the beliefs you espouse. One last thing guy, the word is "our" not "are". And to those who seem to think that this guy knows his s**t, as you put it, can you please tell me what makes you feel like this. Please point out his huge pearls of knowledge.

AFTER SAVING BIT BY BIT FOR A FEW YEARS but I just cannot spend $60 even only two or three times a year to buy games because that is equal to the livelihood of my family for two months. Hell, I managed to buy my PS3 160GB just recently in August 2011 for $320 even though I had been wanting to buy one since launch. It is easy to say such things but only those who live in such countries truly understand the situation. There are no used game stores, game rental stores, Ebay, Google Play, Amazon, Paypal or any other such luxuries in my country. The few legitimate games available on local stores are imported/smuggled and are sold for premium prices which are even higher than $60. I cant even find the game I want because shop owners only keep 4 or 5 titles at a time. They just cannot afford to keep all the latest and popular titles on stores. I am one of the most priveledged in my country being a university graduate, being able to speak/write English, financially well-off than 90% of the population but even I cannot afford to buy a couple of legitimate games without raising some eyebrows at my home. Just because we do not have the money like the people in first world countries does not means we do not desire or deserve the joys of life. By your logic it means if a person cannot afford to buy food then he deserves to die of hunger instead of stealing it to stay alive. Like I said before, only a person who lives in poverty can understand the problems of the poor. I am sorry if I have said anything to offend you; I just wanted you to understand my situation and why I cant buy legitimate games.

Hey if you can't afford a car steal your neighbors, if the girl you like won't f**k you rape her, if your wife can't have children there is always kidnapping. Your sense of entitlement is sickening. If there is something I can't afford I go without especially something as trivial and unnecessary as a videogame. When the horny, hungry, and tired of walking guy from the end of your street comes in your home rapes your wife/mother and or children, eats your food, then drives off in your car I'm glad to know you won't have a problem with any of it. Good day.
