I the case of this eBay seller though, he told the buyer that he liked him without having ever even made any conversation, and likely doesn't even know his name, or anything about him. That I think is a bit weird and inappropriate, but not weird enough to warrant an article being made about the poor guy.

Stupid me, I’ve wiped my XP install from my old XP laptop, thinking I was installing it on a fullscreen virtual machine. Damn!!

"Hi there, I like you. I'd like to be your friend."

The fact the person said "Hi there" at the beginning seems to imply (or at least that's what I thought) that they only just met. I have never heard any of my friends say "Hi there" to me, it would sound wired as hell.

"Hi there, I like you." sounds like something you'd introduce yourself with, rather than greet a friend/acquaintance with, and it sounds creepy, especially with the lack of an exclamation mark. It makes it sound like someone said it with a mediocre tone.

I'm not trying to be negative by the way, just saying that's what came to mind the first time I read it.

I recently made the move over to Firefox and have noticed that it won't let me log in automatically on here. Has anyone else had this problem?

especially with the lack of an exclamation mark.

I noticed I end a lot of my sentences with exclamation marks unnecessarily, so I've started to actively work them out of my system where they're really not needed.

So, since I got my special rank with Record Day, I ended up taking all my own Tings to see how many I could get. The end result: 6048! I'll be talking to some enforcers now to get that pesky Hoard to cough up what is rightfully mine.

Are you making a point about your posting skillz or about the fact that special ranks seem to last an inordinate amount of time around here?

Don't blame people for doing so: at least you got your special rank...

I won SOTM once, and got nothing...Jeez'!

[Shrooblord]

Not making any sort of point. I just wanted to see how many Tings I had by the time the rank expired.

I hope Avengers leaker lives in safe country where international copyright infringement law is not defined. It would be massive trolling and Marvel could not do shit about it and they would just be wasting time trying to get info from Google LOLOLOL.

I wish to mutually voice my on this.

Well he already posted on YouTube that he regrets nothing and got over 70 thumbs up. Whatever happens, that guy will truly be remembered as awesome leaker (he leaked many different things on YT). If only there were more people like him.

You guys can boon as much as you want but he is awesome.

People like him always fascinated me. I see them as a fighters for freedom.

[Adsolution]

So, just for example, if I was working on a nearly-complete trailer for ROTD and I showed it privately to someone before release to ask for critique, and they in turn took it and posted it online without my permission, you would passionately advocate them in the name of 'freedom' and laugh in my face?



I demand that you take it back and apologise to everyone unfortunate enough to have read your sadistic, mentally ill-bred utterance.

What freedom is he fighting for? Marvel were most likely not ready to release the trailer at the time and the leak forced them to take action and release said trailer earlier than expected.

EDIT: Addy ninja'd me and pretty much voiced my sentiments.

EDIT2:

Fiddled around with the cookies for a bit and can confirm that it's not the problem, unless I've missed something extremely obvious.

No, I wouldn't laugh at you if something like that happened. My reaction would be "Cool trailer, awesome that I had a chance to see it before official upload, can't wait for upgraded official one"

The reason why I was laughing here was not the fact that it got leaked but because of Marvel's reaction. Demanding Google to hand over his IP address? Over small leak? What if he lives on completely different part of the world? Would Marvel travel all the way and really try to prosecute him? Like when you look at all these things, this is just ridiculous. Multi million company, trying to track down single individual over leaked trailer with bad quality. How can I not laugh? It just shows that these companies are money hungry and would use any possible chance just to earn more money (in this case, suing the uploader)

Marvel released official same day some time after leaked one.

I do cannot take it back since this is how I truly feel but as for apology, sure. I just wanted to share my view on this story and since I did it, I am gladly going to apologise to anyone who felt offended by it (I was not trying to offend anyone here just to be clear).


I am sorry if anyone got offended by my view on this thing, it was truly not my intention.

Yea because as I stated in my other post they were most likely forced into releasing the full trailer early by this leak. I doubt they planned to release it that day, as what would the point of the leak be if that was the case?

A multi-million dollar company is creating content worth multiple millions of dollars. If someone leaks that multi-million dollar work early, there is a lot of money to be lost. They have scheduled times for launch, and one guy has single-handedly screwed it up. It is completely just to have him prosecuted.

Pro-consumerism is great and all, but your views regarding the action taken by any kind of established corporation are utterly sickening. You advocate 'freedom', yet you spit on the right to privacy and trust, one of the most integral parts of freedom.

Your idea of freedom seems to be "I should have the right to rape your little sister, because [...]". Now give me a good explanation as to how that isn't actually your idea of freedom without nullifying at least one part of your previous argument.

Video was low quality so I don't see how is a lot money lost. As soon as Marvel released HD trailer, all people went to see it. It is only logical since the low quality trailer didn't do good job showing moive's true look. Plus I see no ads on the video of leaker which means he earned no profit from those uploads.

My idea of freedom is nothing like that. After murder, rape is the worst thing that can happen to anyone so please do not compare such thing to something internet related. I am only fighting for internet freedom. Now don't get me wrong, I have limits for myself too. For example, I criticised leakers of The Expendables 3 and commented on rant my friend made that it was permanent damage for company. I just support idea of freedom when it comes to leaking something unfinished and promotional like trailer and I am sorry but I will always find it ridiculous how companies overreact about it.
