Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Surprised they didn't sue her playing a Metallica song without giving 80% royalties

Glad someone mentioned their anti-piracy and, in turn, anti-consumer practices. Metallica makes great music, but fights like hell for their music rights and money suing pirates and platforms. I prefered Iron Maiden's approach. Instead of suing pirates, there was a time when they set up live concerts in areas where their music was pirated to make money on the live performance. Different ways of interacting with an audience I guess.

Indie game developers putting activation keys in comments on pirate sites are a different breed.
