Bell Media president says using VPNs to skirt copyright rules is stealing

[SLM]

You know when people say CEOs should earn a ****ton of money of their skill, intelligence and experience to run a successful company? And you know how we sometimes thinks CEOs would make good political leaders, again because of their skill, intelligence and experience running successful companies?

It's bull****. CEOs don't earn what they make. Studies have shown this. High-paid CEOs have seemingly little impact on a company's performance. They're faking it just like you and me.

I could fake it a hell of a lot better with a six figure salary and company car. I really could.

It is not the corporate types that get hurt in the end its the writers and filmmakers
Its the authors and music artist. Many in music and book publishing are little guys
independents and skirting copy write does impact them.
I have a book out and I just finished co writing a blues album with a release date
later this month and I don't appreciate people stealing my work if it happens.
It is like someone stealing a carpenters tools

Except in this case no one is stealing. They are purchasing a service from an American company and not Bell. That is the problem this insulting bitch has with people. They are not purchasing Bell's product therefore they are stealing. Ever watched an American TV station? If so you are stealing too.

How long would a rebel green reporter last? I don't thing even a screen-name of Reeve Alushion would help.

Libertarians and anarcho-capitalists say that taxes are legalized theft. But if you want to say that a private corporation buying the distribution rights to private intellectual property and selling it to customers at market prices is theft, then you won't even find ME agreeing with you. I'm a straight up over-throw-the-system, death-to-capitalism socialist. Like, you might even find me saying property itself is theft. But you won't find me saying that what Bell does is theft. You're way off the radical deep end. Do we even have a word?

Sorry that was too far over your head. The so called market rates are set by the suppliers. intellectual property applies to this like patents, what the media companies peddle is rarely intellectual and certainly not property.

Way over my head, clearly. Explain it to me another way because I'm not getting it. You said what Bell does is legalized theft. How is it theft? What are they stealing?
