I love the "winky" defense, I can already see what a disastrous lawyer you're going to be. Please don't pull degrees in the discussion, because it's making you look even more ridiculous.
I never claimed to be a law student. Again read what's written.
As for your comments about the "'winky' defense," as you put it, you'd have a point if I made a statement, then later retracted the statement by saying, "Oh, I was just kidding." Instead, I was upfront about the humor from that very first post.

Thing is, I'm not saying you guys were willing to seriously file a lawsuit, but you were seriously thinking this was either a great or doable idea. What makes this even fantastic, is that some of you are supposed to be law students!!!
That's how you learn... by asking questions... pondering the unponderable. If you choose not to expand your knowledge, then fine... that's your right. But I think that attitude is much more illustrative of a pathetic society than anything we've been espousing.

Look at your replies, please, I know you're going to say "just kidding", but everybody knows better.
Then there's little point in engaging you in conversation, isn't there? I mean, if you're going to believe what you want, despite assertions, claims, and denials that you can't possibly dispute because they're not your thoughts, then what's the point? And I think this anti-social behavior is much more demonstrative of someone residing in a parent's basement.

That my argument doesn't hold water, you can't say that either because as you point out, we don't know the sales numbers. But even then, we all know that more than likely these DVDs are going to be bought by huge numbers of people, and there's nothing that indicates that a significant number of these people won't buy them because they're not the original versions.
If you believe these modified versions are going to result in greatly reduced DVD sales, then it's up to you to prove your point...
Do you read what you're responding to? Or do you engage in pick and choose the parts that suits you and ignore the rest? Just because he believes your claims are unfounded doesn't mean he believes he holds the opposite to be true. In fact, he stated that your conclusions about the popularity of the DVDs is "wildly presumptive" and that we should "wait for a week" before making a determination one way or the other.
What's funny is that in the rest of your rant, you're repeating what he already stated... If memory serves, Bugs Bunny used the same tactic to prompt Daffy into telling Elmer, "It's duck season! Shoot the duck!" Is that what you were going for?
