seriously very little of what your calling piracy is actual piracy
53% of all torrent traffic is TV shows
that timeshifting
all the bullshit complaints (no commercials / no sharing etc ) were the exact same complaints made against the betamax when it was establishing the right.
actually read the transcript of MPAA testimony to congress JV actually pointed out that his son made commercial free personal copies of the movies on cassette tapes.

Piracy was previously private. It wasn't supposed to be available to anyone with an internet connection and a search engine. That's a fact.

fair use was also private
but the network effect has benefits
it total bullshit to argue that you should have a right to the benefits of the network effect
but my legal fair use (ie Timeshifting) should not.
i don't give a fuck about piracy, sue them into oblivion, take their house, garnish their wages forever
just leave my fair use rights alone
don't rehash the old arguements you already lost when the fair use was first established

It's your own community's extravagance and righteousness that will lead to the loss of Internet freedom as we once knew it. You will lose the fight in the end, and we will all lose along with you, whether we agreed with you or not. You are the very excuse they need to add the controls you fear.

i very much doubt it
like i said i am not defending piracy in any way shape or form
i am defending fair use
and in many cases the fair use rights that the courts have already given me over your old objections
repeating an objection your side already made and lost shouldn't win.
and that exactly what such a limit on personal freedoms would be
everyone losing their personal freedoms so that copyright holders can reverse the last lost fight is not going to happen
no politician can survive that issue no matter how much money the copyright lobbist give them.
