I have and always will support the rights of the copyright holder. I also think there are possibly a few tweaks to existing copyright laws and rules that could make the system better. BUT, to refer to 'copyright' in general as draconian is, well, just plain ignorant, and it plainly shows one's agenda.
I realize it's a broad and multi-faceted argument, but where it pertains to, for example, people grabbing porn clips out of a members area of a pay site and then uploading them on a tube site and engaging in unauthorized use I completely and unequivocably draw the line. Bringing PVR's into the argument? Please. That's just a useless smokescreen side argument pirates use to justify their thievery and scumbaggery. A PVR only allows more convenient viewing of what TV viewers can already view via their existing cable or satellite services, which by the way they PAY FOR. Do you hear TV and movie producers crying about PVRs? No. Do you hear paysite owners and content producers complaining about tubes and unauthorized use and piracy? Damn right you do, and for good reason.
I realize you'll never give up preaching your BS Gideon, but as I've told you before man, every time you post on this subject your agenda is utterly transparent. And just as no one agreed with you 4 or 5 years ago, no one is going to agree here, and I doubt anyone's going to agree with you 5 years from now, or 10, or 50. Why? Because when someone creates some original intellectual property (which I have) you need their permission to use it and/or profit from it.
You can (and likely will) argue my entire post, but frankly what I've said to you here and in umpteen other threads like it is inarguable. And you do know that arguing against the inarguable is one more indication of insanity, right? :D
