So, new Pink Floyd album out today.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Surely no f**ker / law abiding curmudgeon (yes) can argue that this is not a case iron case for free downloading from the internet.


Let's be honest, it might be absolute ****. See some of Gilmour's solo stuff. See also that abomination that The Who released after a similar artistic hiatus.

[Classic Jorge]

Not to mention your loyalty.

Literally the only argument against it I can think of is Johnny Cash.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

If so, then I suspect that downloading it for free constitutes theft.

The quality of the product, as perceived by you, has absolutely no bearing on the question of whether you are stealing or not.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

It's basic economics, free v not free.

[Ashberto]

Division Bell was **** enough, ISTR. Maybe I should have played it more than once, tbf.

[Classic Jorge]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Yes, I know, stop typing now.

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

When he says, 'It's basic economics, free v not free', you're going to smile and shake his hand?

He'll still be a thief.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Can you see that there are two different things there? You appear to have managed a whataboutery already!

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Doesn't inspire mass consumer confidence.

I went back to the Division Bell recently as it goes, perhaps when I became aware of this new offering. I didn't get to the end, not even sure I got beyond 3-4 songs.

The one Gilmour did with The Orb I liked, but then I would be very into that type of thing.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

justify stealing. I was examining how his position is logically untenable.

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

I'll just pop into the local HMV and nick it :-)

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Classic Jorge]

My mistake, I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm arguing against stealing.

[Berni]

Although if you accept 'abuse' as a term, you could call yourself a 'drug abuse survivor'.

[Berni]

went away, leaving you still with a perfectly functioning VCR?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Do you give your writing away for free, by the way?

[Classic Jorge]

Is it because that person will be deprived of something physical they have previously possessed?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

so in effect, yes.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

What if you wrote it but then he decided he didn't need to pay you? And then squirmed around looking for bizarre nonsensical reasons why he was justified in doing so?

You'd have some thoughts on the chap's moral fibre, wouldn't you?

[Classic Jorge]

I might go grouse shooting or possibly having a quick look at the neighbours car (and his wife, phwooooar) as he wants me to help him with his insurance. I was going to go round to see my mum but I can't be f**ked. I might just stay in and do some mucky sculptures.

Also, jesus f**king christ, dennis bergkamp, eh?

[Berni]

And I'm not sure you're always that holy on the sabbath, tbh.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Mass in the evening.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

Does having an unholy hangover count as 'quiet contemplation'?

I'm round your way on Sunday. I'll pop in and we'll go to Mass together, shall we? Although I might forget where to stand, sit and kneel. It's been a while.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I was at Mass in France earlier this year and it worked even when I got a little bit lost in pure word terms. The rhythm was just the same.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

What do you mean, 'Am I allowed'? Cheeky sod.

[Pat Vegas]

[Luis Anaconda]

Catholic service in Spanish but it just sounded the same as ever.

[Berni]

remarried outside the church were denied communion?

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Sammy Hagar is the singer now I believe instead of that simply ridiculous chap that used to jump (no pun intended) around a lot.

Mind you, I perish to think about the number of hot american chicks that chap rode.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

No. No it doesn't.

[Berni]

That is possibly the least appropriate simile I have ever used, tbf. :hehe:

Oh, I see what you mean. Sorry :shudder:
