All I can think is: we gave you the Internet. We gave you the Web. We gave you MP3 and MP4.

What the hell more do you want from us?

Take the truck, the boat, the helicopter, that we've sent you. Don't wait for the time machine, because we're never going to invent something that returns you to 1965 when copying was hard and you could treat the customer's convenience with contempt.
