Why
Pirate code
Why not?
Because he's kind of a piece of shit
~~You obviously never took advantage of mega upload or else you would not be saying that~~
Edit: well shit I stand corrected,....yeah I guess he is
Nah mega upload is nice but he’s a piece of shit and always has been.
Ukrainian sovereignty (something Dotcom has actively rallied against) is more important to me than a slow, bloated file hosting site. He's also openly antisemetic.
Well I was not aware of that
Respect for editing your previous comment, while leaving the original text struck through, in light of your newly learned context on this person.
Side note, as time goes on I realize that a lot of people who I looked up to in my youth, specifically people that espoused a free and open internet, public ownership of knowledge and learning resources, basically all the hacker ethos stuff, wind up having a side to them along these lines. Maybe it’s a racist neo-nazi ideology like Dotcom, maybe it’s the defense of CSA materials like Aaron Schwartz, but it always feels like something.
With the amount of unmoderated nazi and neo-nazi stuff on Steam I’ve seen since I made the account for HL2 and the recent interest Congress has taken in it, I’m worried this trend is going to continue and we’ll learn some heinous shit about Gabe Newell.
What did they have that I couldn't find elsewhere?
It's the principle of the master.
Well I'm pretty sure @krolden has you on principle considering the kind of person Dotcom is.
