The movie is 27yrs old. Even if you were 70, you'd have been middle aged when it released.

Taxing unrealized gains is a terrible idea.

Lol saying some people have great genes is not eugenics. My grandma is 101 and has had milky way bars and other candy every day for the past 30yrs. Some people are literally more predisposed to long life.

These sorts of stats are misleading and can erode the footing of the argument you are making. Showing the numbers adjusted for inflation is damning enough.

We've had around 60% inflation over the past seven years, does it explain all their increases? No.

But not including that information and saying "but number is bigger!" Just makes your argument look weak when it could be statistically sound.

Is this inflation corrected? Cause an arbitrary line across 7 years of inflation is gonna be crossed....

109 (b)(1)(A) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), unless authorized by the owners of copyright in the sound recording or the owner of copyright in a computer program (including any tape, disk, or other medium embodying such program), and in the case of a sound recording in the musical works embodied therein, neither the owner of a particular phonorecord nor any person in possession of a particular copy of a computer program (including any tape, disk, or other medium embodying such program), may, for the purposes of direct or indirect commercial advantage, dispose of, or authorize the disposal of, the possession of that phonorecord or computer program (including any tape, disk, or other medium embodying such program) by rental, lease, or lending, or by any other act or practice in the nature of rental, lease, or lending. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall apply to the rental, lease, or lending of a phonorecord for nonprofit purposes by a nonprofit library or nonprofit educational institution. The transfer of possession of a lawfully made copy of a computer program by a nonprofit educational institution to another nonprofit educational institution or to faculty, staff, and students does not constitute rental, lease, or lending for direct or indirect commercial purposes under this subsection.

1)Giving a copy to a friend is an indirect commercial advantage as they are not paying the license fee the copyright holder requires for distribution.

2)You aren't a nonprofit library or educational institution so you don't get a free pass to lend.

Citation needed. Nonprofit educational uses, sure. But giving your friend a copy of a video game is certainly not fair use.

You are for sure violating the copyright law by doing so. You have the right to make backups for personal archival but not to distribute. The second you share with someone else you are breaking copyright law.

Have you actually ever used Ada? It's like programming with handcuffs on.

Inflation ate it all. $60 in 2005 would be almost $100 now. Hell even from 2015, $60 would be $80 scaled for inflation.
