Hardly seems fair now does it?

Jim, Jim, Jim...how foolish can you be? Not only is it fair, but it's FAIR USE!
Who cares if the artist gets paid? Who cares if we get paid for our work?
This is GideonGalleries world baby! We only live in it! Get used to it. You better get with this new and improved GideonGallery world where everything is "time shifted" now before it's too late.
Wait, strike that. It's never too late. Just upload this moment onto a torrent and time shift it. So later, when you come to your senses you can re-download it and have fair use!
It's all so clear to me now. I don't do anything in real time anymore. I even used my DVR to record "Nip Tuck" the other day. But I didn't watch it. No, I uploaded it to a torrent. And NOW, when I feel like it...I will download it and watch it on my computer screen instead!
See how much better that is Jim?
Let me break it down to ya:
gideongallery + living in his parents' basement in Canada + torrents X tubes = Communism!
