Who was right during this dumb argument?

I seem to remember them talking about and trying to access a pirated movie, not porn. And regardless of subject matter it is absolutely a bit killer.
By definition, yeah, it kills said bit but I don’t give a fuck if it’s a pirated movie or if it’s porn, playing videos on an audio-only medium is El Terriblé.

Danny sucks. Nothing will change that.

Patrice is entertaining, even when he's wrong. The man committed, I'll give him that.

And Patrice is very wrong here. This was during the piracy heyday of prosecution, it's a legit fear to have, especially on a company computer. Even if no one went after Sirius, Danny would set a dangerous precedent, and it's a guaranteed firing - no other option would suffice to avoid others doing the same thing.

I don't like him, but Danny was right here.

Danny was wrong because anyone of his computer literacy level at the time should have been well acquainted with ZShare.net, which was not a scam site.

It was just a file/video sharing site like MEGA is now. It was the go-to site for movie pirates. It may have had popups, but I never encountered them because if you didn't have the popup blocker enabled, it was your own fault.

The other reason Danny was wrong, he stopped the show. "No! I'm not clicking on it!" Oh great, guess we'll sit here and change the subject then.
Idk what year this was but they were probably on XP/vista and probably using Internet Explorer, it was so easy to get IE hijacked because of something called ActiveX

It's not as easy as now to not get a virus, the only way you can get it now is that you are a Joe Cumia type where you are always smarter , know better and get to one up anyone else all the time, and ignores and turn off every warning

Just relistened to it, all i got out of is they needed Opie that day, Opie would've called it 5 min in either to click the site or not. Instead we got Nana pussyfooting around the whole thing and can't choose to stand up for his butt buddy and tell Patrice to shut it etc

Without even listening to the clip I could tell just from reading this thread that the skipper was ashore during this debacle. Well said brotherman.

Patrice because he knew how to bring the bitch out of grown men. He did the same thing to DeRosa by saying that Alfred Hitchcock was a hack and by making fun of his EVO phone.
Patrice was acting like a pouty bitch during that fight. He was wrong, knew he was wrong, but kept dragging the argument on forever. He was trying to psychoanalyze Danny's valid objections because he didn't like losing an argument.

Maybe, but the point still stands: if Opie had urged Danny to do the same thing, Danny wouldn't have talked back the same way. Patrice was asserting his dominance to a guy who, by Patrice's account, was acting passive-aggressive for weeks or months.

Hold on, you mean to tell me that Danny would have listened to what his boss told him to do? Powerful observation!

Doesn't mean you should act shitty to a guy who contributes to the show. Opie was out that day and the only authority left was Danny's gf/father Nana. He wouldn't have acted shitty toward Patrice if Opie was there.
