Hahahahaha!

Nobody can make you look like a fool without your consent and assistance.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! He's committing piracy by using a BitTorrent client and is mad because he got caught? Is that it?

My favorite is he thinks that "Machete" and "BRave And Bold" are considered "public access" which means he has no clue as to how public access works.

And what the hell does your WIRELESS ROUTER have to do with how your ISP works? Isn't that like saying because you were making stalking calls to your ex and your number showed up on her caller ID you're going to yell at the maker of your cordless phone and not the phone company? " ya' " know, ignoring the whole "commiting a crime by stalking the ex" thing, which I'm sure he'd have a valid reason for.

Oh, and please contact him to provide him with another way to commit a federal crime as soon as you can!

So we know nothing truthful comes out of his mouth. So should we replace "girlfriend" in the statement.....

"I just finished getting my Internet service (or rather my girlfriend's, since I'm currently having to live at her house, though I'm paying 95% of the bills) turned back on because I downloaded and viewed the movie "Machete," and an episode of "Batman: The Brave And The Bold," which again were supposedly PERFECTLY, 100% LEGAL TO DO SO, CONSIDERING THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN PUBLIC ACCESS/VIEW.
Because of this, my girlfriend has ordered that I am no longer allowed to use Frostwire, due to her name being on the bill and being threatened by the ISP with having the Internet service totally and completely banned, and possibly her going to jail because of the fact that even though I'm doing the same exact thing that the public libraries are doing (with no same/similar repercussions to them) and using Frostwire LEGALLY, these threats have been put upon her/us."


... with "mother"??

[MacQuarrie]

This is great. From his Ebay page:

History/Background:
Trained in just about every field of art known.

Really, Jim? You're trained in cloisonne? Serigraphs? Russian nesting doll making? Ceramics? Etchings? Woodcuts? You can paint with oils, acrylics, watercolors? Charcoal, pastels, conté crayons? Scrimshaw? Embroidery? Mosaic?

You are certainly not trained in graphic design or typography.

[Tom Stillwell]

Ooh, that's a good idea!

Hey Tom, maybe you should post a four page preview of one of your published comics here so Fisher can see what that looks like. Also, a pic of you with a stack of them at a Con would be good. So he understand that published means real physical copies. Not digital ashcans.

Oh, you mean like this?






And finally...



Those are copies of the original Honor Brigade six issue mini-series, both Toy Boy one-shots and the 208 page Honor Brigade TPB for sale at C2E2 2011.

[Shurato2099]

How do we know that's Tom standing next to those comics? That hand could belong to anybody!

I am still trying to figure out how he could think that Machete was legal? I really do believe he is telling the truth there as far as he knows it but....

[Gail Simone]

He lives in an eternal fantasy land. I think he believes a LOT of the nonsense he's come up with.

[The Xenos]

Wow. I was just going to comment that it was sad superhero fans are this out of touch. Then I realized... it's a J Bolt thread. I haven't bothered even looking at these for ages.

I'm torn on the whole illegal downloading scene. At this point.. myself and all my friends do it. Hell, I myself download Batman Brave and the Bold eps as it takes forever for them to come out on DVD and there's not really any easy way to see them online legally. I once got caught downloading The Core years ago and my friends still make fun of me for it. Actually, one of my roommmates got caught downloading Morning Glory on bit torrrent recently and he's a criminal justice major. He's never going to hear the end of that.

This is why you shouldn't use bit torrent for big MPAA films. Bit torrent is totally public so anyone can get it. The MPAA and RIAA are really hitting bit torrent sites with fake torrents that they use to get people's IPs and alert their ISP. This Frostwire sounds like one hell of a casual and crappy torrent client. Anyone who thinks it's legal, never mind a decent client, is a moron.

I know enough not to start arguing that the action is legal. I may argue about changing laws and what future legal standings should be, that the penalties are ridiculous and immoral, but as they stand I know the actions are totally illegal. He's talking out of his ass using a word salad of fake legal terms all jumbled up. Public access? Does he mean "public domain"? Yes, I feel the big six corporations, Disney in particular, are really abusing the legal and lobbying system extending public domain back to practically before the talkies. Yet that doesn't mean you can just claim that movies that came out this year as "public domain". What kinda hippie left wing fantasy world is this guy living in? Everything doesn't belong to the public domain. People need to actually make money on movies they made. I really don't get this whole idea that everything should be public domain. And this J-Dolt is sadly far from the only "free sharing of all ideas" idiot who thinks this. A shit ton of kids today rally behind this idea. Hell, I used to be a lot closer to them back when I really was into illegal downloads. I have mellowed very much. While I think the reaction of the big media corporations are equally stupid and overly harsh, on a level of ideals, I'm more with them than this free love hippy dippy file sharing stuff. You know, despite myself falling back on old habbits.

That's exactly what I think he thinks public access is. He thinks it means public domain. Like, next thing " ya' " know you'll see "Machete" in a crappy DVD box at the dollar store because it's public domain. He should be allowed to download it, " ya' " know, because after all, he's J-Bolt!

Yup, I'm going to keep using " ya' ", until he stops using it. Because sometimes you have to smack the puppy with the rolled-up newspaper to make them stop doing what they're doing wrong.

Award-Winner Angie!
