Paul I have nothing against you and actually agree with the majority of your posts in different threads. Especially about why the industry is in decline. I LOVE it when you talk about how shitty the product is. I wish it could be repeated everyday until it gets into everyone's heads.
I am against piracy and illegal downloading. As for 'this method' of fighting piracy I am very much against. And before you and Steve reply with, "well do you have any better ideas" ... no I don't. But a bad idea is still a bad idea. Even if there are no alternatives it doesn't mean that the current idea should be implemented.

But you can't deny we live in a world controlled and regulated. Yet the press can bring down a President, debate whether Marilyn Munroe was killed be the CIA, people can march against Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and any other thing they want to. We can buy porn from shops on the street and many other freedoms.
A free Internet has largely been taken over by scum.
And if you want it cleaned up the ONLY way it will be done is with Government action. The problem is that action will fall on Youtube as well as others. And they have the clout.
Until a better idea comes along this is all we have.
