Where did I say through-out the world? Go back and read my post pal.

Even if America *did* run the world, what law do you think would stop piracy? You have people selling DVDs for a buck on the streets. You have uncontrollable P2P. You have private forums. You have private FTP. You have fricking Usenet. How do you stop all that?

I never said STOP piracy, sigh..Again go back and read my post.
I said it would put a DENT in piracy but it could never be stopped.

But Hollywood has made more money that ever before, for the last TWO YEARS RUNNING? They are not losing money. They are raking it in.

Well, they tried for years to bully and lie and realised piracy went up. So now they are trying to get the ISPs to pay to police the internet. And you think that is likely to happen? Really?
|
Yes I think it can happen. ISPs are already fighting in court for the right to filter traffic.

So you, as a pornographer, think allowing your government to watch what you do online and censor it, if it chooses to, is A Good Thing? Are you unaware of what is going on in Australia, China, etc?

I never said it was a good thing. I said it would come at a price..

People really need to stop wasting their time worrying about something that cannot and will not ever be stopped and start using that time constructively.

Who is worrying? This is a discussion about an infringement lawsuit and piracy in general.

Heck, how many blogs could Robbie have set up promoting CM with the tens of THOUSANDS of words he has typed here about how piracy is awful?
I guarantee you this, he would have gotten more sales doing that than he did posting here
I am not pro-piracy. I am anti-stupidity though. And fighting a fight you ain't never gonna win is a stupid fight to have.
I wrote this post called "What if everyone is wrong about piracy" some might find interesting.

Cool, but I'm not 'fighting a fight'. Just giving my point of view on the subject. I do think it's funny how certain people get all bent out of shape about it..;) (yes that goes BOTH ways, both the people against piracy and those who
are not).
