The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

If this rhetoric was used in a conservative opinion piece instead of a pro piracy opinion piece, I'm pretty sure it would be banned for calling for violence towards specific individuals.

Guillotine preview image and quotes like:

Sure, Zaslav deserves to be staked out over an anthill and slathered in high-fructose corn syrup. But save the next anthill for the Sony exec who shipped a product that would let Zaslav come into your home and rob you. That piece of shit knew what they were doing and they did it anyway. Fuck them. Sideways. With a brick.

Sure, Warner is an unbelievably shitty company run by the single most guillotineable executive in all of Southern California, the loathsome David Zaslav, who oversaw the merger of Warner with Discovery.

What a trash article and site. How is this permitted.
