According to his resume, Vaillant had 15 years of computer programming experience when he started at Jetflicks and knew 27 computer languages.
Hahaha
Oh, yeah I know 27 programming languages.
What? Haha, no, I can't program them.
How dumb do you have to be to think that was a good idea?
And he did it In the United States. Bro what were you thinking?
Yeah, making money from piracy is not ok. If you're not paying the copyright holders, it's unfair to make people pay you.
It's fine to be paid for labour eg programming.
Right. Or acting or filming or editing or...
Those people already got payed before being layed off.
At that point all the people getting money are the people who bullied their way to holding the rights for the IP.
Where do you think the money to pay them came from?
What does it matter for this conversation?
