rule 1 one of Piracy, we don't talk about piracy,
too many psycho's who want to curtail our freedoms.

Youtube paid him, do they get away or were they also fined

 

[FiestaST]

The oke had an NSX even! Nice one.

A good coverage over the whole saga from 2016 to March of this year.

heres my takeaway.

There is so much money in reducing the price of cable tv, that you could buy endless lambos from the money of the people willing to pay less for it ...

I coincidentally watched a YouTube video about this last week. It was huge. Before it all went to hell he was worth like $50 million. He was making 200k a day at one point.

Funny you say that. Since last year online piracy's increased but something like 40%. Every time they bump prices piracy spikes.

Haven't these blokes learned yet, you don't buy traceable items. You buy stuff you can hide away like art.

I would have jailed him just for that atrocious paint job on that Lamborghini. Money don't buy taste.

Eish, by the time MyBb and other news outlets forget about friend Omar, he will have achieved cult status.

 

[Raphael123]

My word he had some cool rides.

 

[Cranjus McBasketball]

Netflix just announced another 16% hike. Lets assume that number is going beyond 40%

Yea. Everyone from video to movie streaming is hitting increases. They've already made it easier to pirate content and it doesn't take much to push people that way.
