I am simply saying if you commit a crime using the internet it is not unfair to then take away their access.

If I had not internet, I would not be in this thread to begin with, but being able to respond to you is not a basic human right.

I asked and you ignored so I will ask again. If a person gets a fair trial, has access to a legal defense and is convicted of copyright violation multiple times do you still think they should have access to it?
wow so your dodging my question again

answer mine and i will answer yours

if the government outlawed online sales of porn

requiring that you only sell porn in face to face transactions to absolutely prevent children from gaining access to porn (even stealing daddy credit card won't get you access)

let say they required you to take pictures of every person buying porn and post it in a registry so they could absolutely confirm that it wasn't a child with all their drivers licience and id info publically available

would you support those restrictions.


btw what exaxtly do you mean by it, are you saying it is the internet as a whole, or are your saying it is the copyright material they are pirating

my answer is different depending on what you mean by it in your question.
