  Re: Re: Re:

  Actually, you haven't refuted my points.
  Also, I DON'T download or buy music that sucks, which really just means I don't buy or download anything from the major labels.
  
  You claim I use "long-discredited, hypocritical freetard-isms", yet the only one I used was that file-sharers actually spend MORE on average than non file-sharers (which has been proven). If you don't believe the proof, go bury your head in the sand some more.

  Re:

  OMG, that was awesome! I haven't laughed that hard in years.
  
  Oh, wait, you were serious???
  Are you talking about RIAA ripping off the artists they claim to be "helping", or are you talking about fans who spend their hard-earned cash on the crap put out by RIAA clients and then happen to "file share" just a wee bit more?

  Re: Re: Re: Yes, it's re-distribution from taxes to employees, shareholders.

  So, you're saying this bozo making 12k per year who didn't work at school and can't do more than grill a burger or wash dishes should have a free ride for every service in this country?

  Don't you wish we could fast-forward 20 years...

  Until we're past all this BS, the music industry (as we know it now) is dead, and everyone is happily enjoying their entertainment and that the entertainers are getting paid via REALISTIC business models?

• On the post: Does Capital One Offer Different Loan Rates Based On Your Browser Software?

  

  Qritiqal ( profile ), 04 Nov, 2010 @ 04:52pm

  BTW, what they are REALLY doing...

  We can assume that the displayed rates are not perfectly representative of the rates that you would get if you applied for a loan.
  
  Therefore, I suggest that Capital One is using the varying rates as a form of market research to see how many applications they get per rate. That way they can push their rates as high as possible while still being market competitive.

  Where's my cut?

  If this site charges for reading more than one article, but allows me to "share" articles on Facebook, do I get a cut of their revenue for helping distribute?
