Torrenting? Like a torrent of hellfire?! Which is where you'll go if you pirate anything made by a multi-hundred-billion dollar corporation?

How are the executives at AT&T, Comcast, Disney and Viacom supposed to pay for their diamond-dusted lambos if we pirate things?!

Did you know that AT&T bought time warner? How is AT&T supposed to pay off that purchase if a tiny percentage of their products are pirated?!

I only ever claimed I pirated things to fit in...peer pressure! LOOK IT UP!
