Great episode.

Is it just me or is the show quieter when Linde aint on it?

I absolutely love that song, especially the intermission near the tart where Linde just yells "Double Down Browntown!".

Oh yeah. The episode. Good, I guess.

Double-down Browntown FTMFW!

Great episode indeed.

Brad is the best person, PERIOD.

Also, what Kereth said is true. The matter is finally settled. What did we learn from all of it? Fuck if I know. I guess we learned not to do it again.

I came for the pic of Jim in a rooster hat. but I only got an awesome show.

WTF, cheers guys I'm rather humbled.

But yeah go and check out the other awesome stuff on the forums, considering they came up with the idea originally.

Also, since the little rules thingie at the bottom here assures me that I won't be banned for being contrarian, I want to respond to a statement I heard in this podcast.

It was claimed that it's 'ludicrous' to say that copying is not morally identical to theft.

First, let me say that being a copyright supporter is not contingent on believing that copying is theft.

Acknowledging that copyright is a prohibition on copying (and NOT a law against theft) doesn't require you to abandon your views on so-called 'pirates'. You can, at the same time, believe copying is just as immoral as stealing, and not the same as stealing.

That being said, how could they be considered the same? I didn't hear any supporting arguments in this podcast. You can't just spout intellectual property dogma and act like it's proof of something.

Can't you see that you're lumping them together arbitrarily and unnecessarily? The issue of what to do about copying is unique and important and you're doing a disservice to the discussion by writing it off as though it's precisely equivalent to something else.

Excellent work, gentlemen.
