I said 'fuck you youtube....' for the simple reason that they are the corporate clones allowing restrictions and copyrights over the content of SME, Veoh and all the other corporate media companies that have flocked to the service.
From someone in a far off country I am watching corporate America turn into a pack of bullying cunts, taking anyone that gets in their way to court, while knowing full well that they can throw millions if not billions at the cases and grind down the opposition simply by having more money. Money from the excess profits generated by their shark like definitions of media, it's inherent value, how many devices you can have a media file on before you have to buy another copy of the same media, whether you have the digital rights under their restrictive agreements to use that media or whether they can take you to court and make an example of you for breaking the agreement. How much information they should collect from you on your usage of that media through DRM, how much of the information that they data harvest in getting you to sign up to various services and how much they can onsell that data to other media companies or advertising companies.
When George Orwell wrote the novel 1984 back in post war britain in 1949 he envisaged the government as being the nemesis, little did he know massive entertainment conglomerates would conspire to restrict peoples rights and spy and collect more data on them on a daily basis than the government would ever bother to do, I mean you have to go out of your way and say 'nuclear bomb', 'kill the president' or any of the other nutty key phrases over a phone line or cellphone before the echelon program kicks in and agencies with alphabet names suddenly take an unhealthy interest in your garbage and toilet habits, but the corporates data harvest daily as a matter of consequence.
By the way if you want a true definition of irony, Apple currently the most litigious media company on the face of the planet once made a very famous cult advert about macintosh smashing the conformity of the big brother society, the irony is that Apple is now a large part of that big brother conspiracy, they even track you on your phone.
I must have watched it 30 times before getting out of this hypnosis state I fell in. I have to try it. Attachment 79214Quote:

Although the term 'big brother' is now a pop culture phrase at the time it was written the book was seen as prophetic.Quote:

There was no 'easter egg' or segue intended, I just find it deeply ironic that a company that once wanted to smash the oligarchy is currently being investigated for tracking users of it's products, a real 'big brother' in itself.
But I can chat and watch Adam Sandler movies on my iPad.
Hmmm ... snob!Quote:

People like you with 2400 posts here clearly don't have a life .Stop spamming my thread before I report you or start crying or something.
Also bump and since this request isn't going so well I should probably mention that I've never traded or hit and run and that I am a big fan of HD and FLAC.
Also I've donated and uploaded a lot but since I'm sober now so I don't know if that will continue.
I also like packs and good communities that aren't filled with smart-ass spammers in which people really care about each other but not in a ghey way . Although there's nothing wrong with that unless the sites I'm requesting ,whatever they turn out to be ( still undetermined), are filled with the usual homophobes in which case the queers can all burn slowly in Hell if that helps .:)
Please,please,please find it in your heart to help me as these sites(whatever they turn out to be) are my dream.:cry:
PS it's also my birthday nearabouts and I just lost my job and if the tests turn out the way the doctors think, I probably have a fatal disease or at minimum something really painfully debilitating.:(
I'm thinking Lyme disease mainly because I just watched Lymelife and what I obviously mistook for simple chronic laziness was merely wishful thinking on my part.:(
Hopefully if no kind-hearted bt type will fulfill a poor dying man's request then Emma Roberts will come and give me sex at least.
I'd also , considering my imminent demise ,like to open this request up to more sites just as long as they are cool .
Please PM Polarbar for the precise definition of what that may in fact be.
That's all fine and dandy, but is it for personal use?Quote:

Seriously u all suck. I'm like this close to saying the hell with it and offering to trade my uk-two and Skittles accounts.
I don't want to but you may leave me no choice.
Force a man to abandon his principles. I certainly hope you are all perfectly fucking proud of yourselves.
Also anyone I've ever given an invite to and you know who you are, I want those accounts back right now.
Ungrateful bastards.
patience! Idol PatienceQuote:

You can quote me on that.
Also Thomas Jefferson was clearly a fag or else he would be known as Tommy Jefferson. That and my fist is the enemy of your face.

If I made a habit of striking any body part that gave me trouble I'd have been a mute eunuch long ago.
Also shut up Darth Rings.
Btw I feeling truly betrayed by the internet ,this forum ,my friends and life in general.
If it weren't for relatively cheap beer I would have nothing left.
"O, woe is me,
To have seen what I have seen, see what I see"!
That probably made a lot more sense in 1600.
Hey man, cheap beer is the cause of and cure to all of life's problems. Or at least that's how I look at it. If you have a really shitty day, there's nothing better to cure it than a nice smoke and a cold IPA.Quote:

my god. so much similarity. amazed. retired staff here. working somewhere else now.I respect u much more now sir.
Nowhere? I would have thought out of Mrs. Hasselhof more likely.
Still no excuse though.
Automerge once again plays havoc with the comedic...........................................timing.
Btw I've decided to change strategy and ask for Exigo and HDbits instead.
I know people here are members of those sites so I can just blame a lack of response to their innate cruelty then.
Or in my case, intentional cruelty.
No in your case it's perceived superiority.
Cerealousy I know just as much about music as the next guy so I don't see why I can't be a member of HDbits?
As for Exigo when did technical acumen supplant either love or knowledge of movies as the foremost reason to belong to a movie site?
These are important question that probably don't require answering.
Btw you may think that you are smart because you have succeeded in pulling the wool over the eyes of some pasty skin academics but you don't fool me bucko.
Not for a minnow.
did i offend somebody.Lol. i was so so amazed to see the 2 post in two different forums that i had to post here. I mean a guy so respected in a trading forum that he has retired is an active mod on another completely opposite community i.e giveaway forum making a request thread for something.
Just one question. Do they know that you are an icon here. I mean i lied there that i dont trade for sure.wat about you.
What are you talking about? How about a link or something?
Anyway Idol, I'd probably invite you to HDBits if you promise to be an uploader and upload 50 FLACs.
lolwut?Quote:

Btw I've never been a mod or even FLS anyplace else.
Also you're not too bright if you see this as a request thread or for that matter, flattering as it is , think that I'm an icon .
Wat?
You're funny ,like I know what FLAC is .Quote:
