Oh well.
Yeah, some bullshit about "aiding in copyright infringement". The really fucked up thing is, a bunch of clone sites have popped up. And some of them are charging people to torrent.
RIP torrenting.
I've still done it a bit despite the golden age ending a couple of years ago but soon it'll probably be done.
Torrenting isn't dead Carl.

>pay

lol
I never used tpb anyway so what I sometimes do won't be directly affected.
I've been told 'lol you still torrent' before so I've been under the impression that its popularity is dwindling.
Really? A lot of people still do it.
It's still very prevalent in the anime community, as that's how fansub groups distribute their material.

I thought it already had been shut down.
Fuck yeah Grimes! I love that shit, she's awesome. They aren't exactly similar, but have you listened to Clean Bandit? They're like electronic music with a string quartet. They have a hit song on the radio, "Rather Be". Most of their songs have female vocalists, but they change it up a lot.
Also the chick in the band is smokin'. (She also looks a little goofy, but I'm willing to look past that because goofy people can be cool.)
Man I'm getting tired of hearing holiday briefings. I know they're trying to make sure we don't do anything stupid and get hurt/arrested, but goddamn.

I think the general assumption is that, despite having heard it 100 times, some dumbass is gonna go get his ass in jail anyway. So, they probably figure that the more they say it, the less chance there will be more than one dumbass.
I mentioned I know why they're doing it. I'm just bitching.
Also they don't really say anything in the briefings regarding safety or whatever, they just say "hey the holidays are around the corner, plz don't be a dumbass". They call us out of class, or make us get in a formation to almost verbatim say those words.
