You will never stop piracy, so learn to tolerate it.

so, he called obama a thief? DATS RACIST

In case this didn't get published in America, one of his biggest newspapers was closed down after reporters illegally hacked into mobiles and landlines of people, which was used for many nefarious purposes to boost newspaper sales, including faking that a missing girl was still receiving text messages from her parents so their news story would last longer in the papers. Despicable, and how he can then blame google for illegal acts is hypocrisy of the highest degree

Since when has Google been a streaming service? Maybe I missed something, but every Google search I've ever done that might have a result of streaming or downloading a file has been a link to another site, never directly from Google...

This guy's ramblings remind me of a bad cocktail recipe: Take 1 part paranoia, 1 part dementia, 2 parts ego, mix well, serve with a dash of hypocrisy and a small corporate umbrella.

Wait a sec, this guy was in charge of the newspapers that hacked into the voicemails of victims of 911 and various others.
Why does anyone care about anything he has to say?

"You will never stop piracy, so learn to tolerate it."

Oh, that's brilliant. Well I hope you remember that when someone breaks into your car or house and steals your stuff. Just tolerate it, mm-kay?

but. but that's what they teach me in school..to tolerate everything then I will be a better person..blah!!!

"You will never stop piracy, so learn to tolerate it."

or we just send all you ***** pirates to jail, that also works very well.

Bravo Nick. I couldn't have said it better. Very balanced and thoughtful.

I wonder how much he paid myspace to start saying myfox. edit oh looks like he bought the whole damn thing

p.s. lol his newscorp bought myspace then it started failing, i guess he didn't realize everyone thinks hes the devil, no offense to the devil

p.s.s. yeah i remember when his people hacked into that murdered little girls voicemail and deleted messages, thats insane, then the guy who blew the whistle on it mysteriously died the next day. his laptop and some other belongings were found in a parking garage a few miles away. but no national attention went to that. all they talked about was that rupert got a pie(literally) in the face the next day, somehow that over shadowed it all. Fox even reported it as a attack on rupert...

Good luck with that.

+1

guys a Crim. Who cares what he has to say.. if he was poor he'd be loopy guy on the corner spouting nonsense.. he's got money so he's 'outspoken and opinionated'. I think he's got mild dementia that's getting worse.

"Oh, that's brilliant. Well I hope you remember that when someone breaks into your car or house and steals your stuff. Just tolerate it, mm-kay?"

Don't be silly. While software/music/movie piracy and physical theft are both certainly wrong, they don't compare like that.

Fact is, the respective industries still rake in copious amounts of money. And for example if the record labels actually cared about the musicians, they'd spend less time ripping off said musicians themselves and then blaming the pirates for everything.

As far as Murdoch goes, how such a retard ever managed to launch such a big company is beyond me.

I think we're all overlooking something: why did Justin Timberlake buy MySpace? That's confusing in itself...

He's got some nerve, over here in the UK his son has lied to a comittee of MP's investigating phone hacking, he's had a newspaper close down due to it's antics, and been critisised for being too powerful and meddling in British politics!! Watching his antics is like watching a bond movie!

People always say piracy costs the industry millions/billions but I am almost 90% certain if I didn't watch certain dodgy copies of films now and then I wouldn't even consider buying them either. They base all this lost profits on those that pirate would buy it instead this is not the case.
