Kim Dotcom : " Let's give Bitcoin a boost "

[vennali]

I was just checking on how to upgrade plans membership and seen this , not sure if it was available or they started integrating Bitcoin the the last hours :

That is really cool.!

Kim DotCom is a disgusting bloated fat pig.  He peddles in illegal stolen wares.  He profits from the illicit use of other people's creations.  Most around here don't like copyright, but it remains legitimate law.  Nerds love 'free' movies, but it is killing the people who produce movies just like the music industry.

Do we really need to have bitcoin involved in more criminal uses?  Do we really want to associate bitcoin as this go to tool for assholes who want to steal?  

Bitcoin will be great as soon as we get rid of the anarchy assholes think its primary use is to traverse the law.


Kim Schmitz is merely a dirty filthbag.  I don't accept him as an ambassador for Bitcoin.

Go Mega! Dont listen to the sheep mentality people!

[coinableS]

People will start to associate bitcoin with underground activities

That's the whole point of bitcoin. It's cash for the internet and ANYONE can use it for ANYTHING just like cash. If I want to sell something legal I can. If I want to sell something illegal I can. If I want to sell a jar of fairy farts I can. All you need is a buyer and seller and that's it. No middle man, no mediator to say what is ok and what is not.

I don't think  we need his endorsement.  He is a criminal but he seems to be behaving better these days.

So ,
Seems like Paypal and MasterCard has stopped doing business with MEGA (File uploading & sharing provider)

Kim Dotcom tweeted : "I like to thank @Paypal for backing #Mega for such a long time. The pressure from Hollywood and the US Government was simply too much."
So he decided to switch from those payment methods to Bitcoin and give a boost .



I personally think that it's a great oppurtunity for Bitcoin , what do you guys think ?

Awesome news! so now we know , why it's going up since last night

lol  Bragging about stealing on a public forum.  

It is only because it is difficult to prosecute that you and others somehow think it is 'OK'.

its difficult to prosecute because it isn't theft, no court in the land would classify watching streaming video in such a way

He peddles in illegal stolen wares.  

You are referring to copyright infringement which isn't the same thing as theft. Ideas and concepts cannot be stolen, and you fail to understand the principles of common carrier laws within common law or the philosophical and ethical nuances of IP. Whether or not copyright infringement should be respected and under what terms is a valid argument argument to be discussed, yet you are clearly ill prepared to even broach the subject matter.

Do some research and educate yourself before spouting off like a brainwashed puppet.

That kind of propaganda doesn't work any more.

Nobody believes it (if they ever did), and it does the opposite of "winning hearts and minds".

The next generation of developers is going to grow up seeing legal denouncement of their projects as professional validation, and having their software banned a rite of passage.

The stigma of bitcoin harboring nefarious characters is false... maybe these government officials should start looking at their own bank accounts for hidden personal gains at the demise of the masses first.
Fiat related crime trumps bitcoin crime by about 10 million to 1... lets start with this premise.

A mega-boost for Bitcoin?
All the good news is finally affecting the markets in a positive way. 

[Hamuki]

Anyone that have seen the doc about Kim dot com on vice?
It is really good!!!

[DGulari]

Nerds love 'free' movies, but it is killing the people who produce movies just like the music industry.

People have been saying that file sharing is killing the music industry for a decade now -- obviously a huge exaggeration. Who watched the Grammy's the other night?

Music industry was devastated by file sharing thieves.  Just because they are giving out Grammys doesn't mean the music is any good.  Obviously you were around when the Kinks, Stones were awesome.  

Kim Dot Com is  world class scum.  No wonder he lives in exile and is getting his access to payment networks shut down.  

Bitcoin needs advocates who have more to offer than clever ways to steal.

[tss]

Let lawyers at courts work out what is legal and what is not, but in meantime blocking payments is pretty stupid. Luckily Bitcoin is open to everyone, unlike all other centralized paying systems.

yes.  what's legal here may be illegal elsewhere.  understanding that not everyone has the same opinion on "law" is the first step.  the second step is to understand that bitcoin is non exclusive and whether you're a "patriot" or a "terrorist" it is open to you without discrimination.

Doesn't sound right to me...People will start to associate bitcoin with underground activities or that's the way how I look at it. So does that in any way connected to which can explain the recent bitcoin price going up?

You think you will be able to clean up the bitcoin ecosystem… sorry but if bitcoin fulfills its intended purpose, these decentralized types are going to pave the way…

Let jump over to Uber, what if bitcoin creates a decentralized taxi service that doesnt have the demand of shareholders to produce revenue, and now you pay directly to the driver, all business is sort of between the rider and the driver… Are you going to be sitting here arguing in favor regulated taxis even though Uber itself undid that, and bitcoin can take it a step further and undo Uber….

Sorry but I think you are putting to much emphasis on continuing to live how the world used to live and the garuntees and protection that came with it…

Quit defending the past.. We are moving into a new era. Interestingly, even the most progressive or radical of ideas of things that become possible with bitcoin we find ourselves moved and somewhat uncomfortable about what bitcoin can do to the face of this planet…

However, I believe this is the correct move forward, perhaps my access to information is limited, reducing the accuracy or confidence of my claim here, but this is the future whether you like it or not...

I can assure you that if you had just spent $50 million of your money making a film and someone else was "streaming" it for free, you would class it as theft from yourself.

[philiveyjr]

i got a lot of respect for this guy, haven't paid to see a movie in 10 years thanks to pioneers like him

^ lol..you r supposed to pay for the entertainment..Its like stealing food from a restaurant.. Its illegal otherwise..! I know there r loads of movies that dont deserve the money they r getting..but there r a lot of them in the opposite situation as well...n we should help them out.!

Thanks for your attention. I tried to mark pro-copyright brainwashed pricks here. In future, please don't discuss anything with them, just mark them and let them rot alone.
