Great post! I think everyone should read this! Arg! Need to concentrate again

Physical because its better for reading. But limited space at my home mean I am most buying digital nowadays.

Public relations.

They are usually not responsible for the bad decisions but are responsible for taking the heat for them. They are also powerless to actually influence most decision making.

But people will just flame them for being “bad at their jobs” or something like that.

Japan is very bad in terms of copyrighted stuff. If that person lives overseas this would never have happened.
