    People with 6 digit paychecks want me to lose my internet freedom so they can keep their pockets filled with money?

    Gee, let me think abou- NO.

    Piracy barely makes an impact on anything, and even if it did it's still wouldn't be reason enough to have the entire internet censored because some lobbyist prick said it should be.

    Yeah that makes no sense. But if it really is only 30% faster than a 6970 it's not very impressive and probably won't be good value.

    Why would WD do that? All lowering the warranty period does is throw up uncertainty about the build quality of new Blue and Green drives. I know I'll definitely be thinking twice if I need to buy a new HDD from WD.

    Seagates quality went down the toilet once they hit the 1TB mark. I haven't touched a Seagate HDD since then.
