The Logical Fallacy of Pirating Content

2012-03-23

The Oatmeal had a comic recently about trying to watch the HBO show Game of Thrones. I thought it was funny, but a bit ignorant, and a poor excuse for doing something illegal. It made me a little angry, but I didn’t really want to dwell on it, and after a couple of days of people linking to the comic it went away. Then I saw an article on PandoDaily that made me angry all over again. Luckily, within an hour, another article showed up (on the same site, mind you) that turned all that anger into laughter. On its own, the first article is a poorly reasoned tale of entitlement; however as a pair they are well worth a read!

This site has been idle for at least a year, I think.  It’s time to shake things up a bit by moving to a new Content Management System so that I can focus more on creating content and less on writing code to display it.
