In that event, you'd use it right? Given you're clearly a humanist and want the talent to be paid fair. Or would you in that case go 'eh' and still not use it, but say the WWE is unfair for not paying their talent properly?Ian Austinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-10915352787833245482015-03-22T23:18:15.024-06:002015-03-22T23:18:15.024-06:00Where did I ever say I wanted it for free?

I don't use a VPN to cheat the system.<br /><br />My points:<br /><br />You're trying to apply standards of human decency to a bureaucracy that itself has no such conception of the idea. Human decency doesn't enter into this equation for two reasons. (1) It's a financial transaction in which the seller has potentially created a loophole screwing itself out of money. As a consumer, I'm not inclined or obligated (legally, but especially morally) to feel any remorse for the seller. Especially because... (2) This entire scenario was created because the seller structured the payments, and subscriptions more generally, in a way that in intended to be ambiguous. The seller is intentionally using the ambiguity that comes from this creative accounting to screw over its talent and possibly even misrepresent subscriptions to investors (i.e. offering a free month before the Rumble because they knew there would be cancellations, and then reporting on subscriptions before those cancellations would have actually taken effect).<br /><br />So, again, why should I feel basic human decency for a company that shows none itself for its workers, its investors, and even frequently its own customers?brocorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-35594794301377033642015-03-22T21:05:51.005-06:002015-03-22T21:05:51.005-06:00You can get 1080 no problem.
