So if a crime can't be controlled we shouldn't try?
To what level, do you think, the minimum should be to warrant it being controlled?
Your thinking is beyond stupid. If it was applied to everything the police would disappear. You would get mugged, robbed, burgled and no one would stop them.
Because it couldn't be controlled.
In a modern civilised society we do what we can to minimise the law breakers. No one expects all crime to disappear over night and only the foolish think that passing a law means the crime will disappear. To make a crime disappear. you just make it legal. Is that your argument?
Reading this thread it's obvious that those with something to protect are in favors of protecting what they have. Those with little to protect or profiting from the crime are saying, that any control is wrong. for what ever reason they can think of.
Well change is coming. Too many big companies and countries lose too much revenue to piracy for it to continue.
The West leads the world in "Digital media" from porn to programs. This is a huge revenue generating business. To allow sites in countries or owned that don't have a hand in creating and profiting from their work isn't going to carry on. It costs them too much money.
Apple will need to rethink iTunes, Youtube, Twitter, etc will need to rethink itself. Sites that advertise on piracy sites will have to look at their strategy as the piracy sites get closed. Adapt or die.
Whether this law or the next one goes through is just a matter of time. Change is coming. I thought you guys loved change?
So far no one has illustrated how laws to stop piracy will effect my freedom.
