Piracy Needs Company


Good morning!

Sometime Yeah, I Figured contributor, Hennessy, has a fresh take on the spoils of piracy via a used book store.

It's a funny read, and a great example of stoic wit from the working class douchebag - a Hennessy staple.

"We don’t order things. We don’t have to, and it helps business, because everybody always thinks they’ll be able to find a better deal somewhere. Who, though really wants to order from a store? It’s unnecessary. It’s a pain in the ass to order from a store. The internet allows for much more immediate gratification. Piracy is just the obvious byproduct of a generation with a short attention and enough technological knowhow to get what they want.

Hearing studios and record labels whine about losing money due to piracy only gets funnier when taken into consideration the number of critics who sell their promo swag to our store. We greet, with open arm the critics who come, loaded to the brim with advanced proofs, unopened cds, dvds, and boxed sets—some weeks before their street date.

There are no fools in these transactions."

For the rest, visit Notes of a Defeatist.com - a great source for all things absurd. Here, Hennessy houses a small collection of interviews he conducted with authors, Colby Buzzell, Craig Davidson, Dustin Long, and Matt Silady. And if that doesn't have you frantically clicking the above link, know also that Notes of a Defeatist is the net's #1 stop for Tara Reid quotes.
