I have like a huge pile of letters from some twat lawyers sending threatening letters about copyright.

The sad thing is most people I asked say “I would pay”. This was like more than 10 years ago when I first got some of them.

The Pirate Party in Finland tried informing people of them being just threats, but Finns are really complicit people and afraid of breaking any rules, so I’m sure these twat lawyers made thousand, tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands. With Finland’s tiny 5m population.

Basically what happens is some company in Germany which owns the rights to some B-class show or just a porn film even, then they upload it to an open torrent site. Wait for people to download it (remember the didn’t give permission to download it), look at the IP’s, then send the respective country in EU a request for the ISP to get that IP owner’s information and then hire a local lawyer to send them a threatening letter; “you’ve illegally downloaded a porn movie, pay us 800€ or we’ll take you to court and you’ll have to pay tens of thousands.”

And if that goes to someone married or someone who downloaded fetish porn or something, they’ll be even more likely to pay.

I never replied or did jack shit. Nothing has happened.

edit I can’t get the line formattin right but you get the gist

That is true also, yes

I hadn’t even noticed, lol.

It clearly says that yes. Although, if it’s just shit design from fonts and whanot, it might they now self-host a service and call it “Ladbible: Videos”, which then would mean it isn’t necessarily grammatically incorrect. For instance asking “do you think Youtube Shorts is a good service?”, people would answer “it’s shit” instead of “they’re shit”.

But the font really does make it look like “Videos is here” is completely it’s own thing and I hate it.

Mmm yeah that’s better.

I mean I always could’ve done it, but you gave me the motivation.

True enough. Okay, yeah, my bad. I mean you can’t make out a single sentence from the article, from this screen grab I took while attempting to read it.

High-stakes gambling. Play like shit, assuming that winning would count as not having spent the money.

Shouldn’t be that hard to get to bigger and bigger tables when you’re just literally throwing money away and losing on purpose.

Edit yeah the text pretty clearly said no gambling

Also, couldn’t you hire a personal servant? No owning, no buying.

Rent all the fucking hotel rooms. Here’s just one that’s 100k a night. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/inside-the-most-expensive-hotel-room-in-the-world

Or you know, go for an entire island.

Have a few yachts visit.

Fly from casinos to other casinos and then to the harbor with your super yacht filled with hired servants (and is the cap you can pay others salary set? Foot massager, 10 million an hour?) then have a party on the island, take another yacht to another island and yeah I think 100 million in a month is very much doable.

I once met one of those.

Just the type @Cold_Brew_Enema is talking about. Self-important douche who literally tried holding presentation on what scum master does. On a recreational evening. And we had no choice but sit there and listen because the space we were spending the evening in was the conferencerooms/sauna of their company. Then he had a brilliant idea of making people do airplanes as a “social activity.” Ugh. The average age in that room was past 30.

And yes I’m aware I wrote “scum”, it was on purpose. It was either that or “cum”, but I don’t want to slut-shame anyone and imagine any potential cum masters out there being more pleasant to be around than him.
