How do you protect your right to piracy?
Zazazu:
Nimrod, your lack of knowledge about the general belief system is showing:
Agreed that some are doing it wrong, but then so are you. Paying for Arring defeats the purpose.
FYI, I am fucking cheap. $47 for dinner for two in hickville? Please. Two good meals here, in Chicago, cost about that. In my smallish town in Indiana, average dinner for two is $20-$25.

Well I know people need to seed but as soon as I get the torrent I get off as quickly as possible. I might let it seed for a few hours but certainly not for weeks. I do not want to draw attention to myself.
Nimrod:
Zazazu, that wasn't an average price, it is mid-range, just an example of what I had spent the night before (and I actually compared the price to what I had spent on TS3 as I was paying). Seems like the pricing up there and here are the same though. No fair, you guys earn higher wages. :P
Coincidentally, I just returned from an early Father's Day outting with my three daughters. An outting that included Red Lobster... now if only I could have ARRRed that meal! It was funny watching glimpses of their expressions as they tried to hide them while reviewing the bill. HAha. So, I snatched the bill, thanked them for their time they had spent with me and paid it myself. But that's just me, I enjoy paying for things when I find them worthy and these days, getting all three of my daughters together at once is worth quiet a bit... apparently.
Lastly, I'm not the only one paying for my ARRing, I just go steps futher to get quality, reliability and privacy! If you pay for internet access, then you're paying for yer ARRing. In this light, the only ones who do it right are the ones who also leech off their neighbor's unsecured/poorly secured wireless access.

Actually, I make nothing since I'm laid off, except for a bit of income from a temp job a couple weeks ago. However, rent on a decent one-bedroom apartment 6 miles from downtown will run you about $900 here. And a condo? You can find places for around $130k, but you wouldn't want to live there unless you like getting shot at. A two bedroom, smallish place runs around $200k. In this market. There are little houses in my neighborhood that go for 1.5 mil. Yeah, we make more. We pay more, too. Food prices just aren't too bad if you stick to neighborhood joints (not downtown where there is an additional tax) and know the specials.
And I just almost had a panic attack, thinking it was Father's Day. My poor little dad would have been heartbroken if I forgot to call him.
I'll seed for a couple hours, too, but no longer than that. My Internets! Mine!

You PAY to eat out? That seems STUPID. If I actually can be bothered to go OUT, I expect to find my food for FREE. Try some of that free-range, organic, 100% all-natural, automotively processed meat.
