Name-calling, nice. Notice I haven't called you any names.

Here's the thing: You're pro-censorship. I'm anti-censorship.

Disengage. We're not gonna agree. All good, friend.

No full source. I couldn't find a good article that wasn't just police facts, so I had to write it myself. Info came from Wikipedia, CNN reports of the arrest, and a book (unfortunately again, pro-police) that I read, called "CRACK99 : the takedown of a $100 million Chinese software pirate." (available on annas-archive.org)

All of them painted him as some kind of evil on society, so I just had to write my own, more sympathetic article. I was really hoping to find some in depth pro-pirate articles on him, but nope....

I don't know. I'm assuming it wasn't Photoshop though.

When someone’s working on just trying to stay afloat, it’s hard to justify paying again and again just to rent joy. In that light, piracy isn’t rebellion; it’s survival.

Ahhh, ok. I haven't heard of that here in US yet, but I'm sure it's probably already happening here.

I haven't found much info, but if he hasn't been released early and had to do full sentence, then yeah, June this year. And he's supposed to be deported to China immediately after release.

I don't know what that means.

Now they have a model where you purchase a license and keep that but updates are subscription based. Your license lasts one year but you can run the software in perpetuity. You can download updates for that year and you can extend the license for $36 to download updates for an additional year.

That's much more reasonable. I could almost be onboard with that if I liked the software enough.

Love it. Any idea how he did the that weird lighting/special effects on his face? I love the lighting and I'd like to recreate that in my own vids. Guess I have to research that now haha
