The problem is no one has a logical alternative to what the Government is doing.

Damian wants to give up trying. We can't stop it 100% so don't bother.

Nextri says it should be done by filters. With a penalty for those who don't filter or just relying on their good will?

Some say it's about Social Interaction. So it a piracy site stops having just a plain link to a download and makes a post as well, it's fine and not piracy.

So this is fine?

I just got this great new film I would like to share with all my friends on Filesonic www.link-to-a-film-I-don't-own.com

Yes that makes it all legal.

Please come up with a logical argument that makes sense.

We live in a civilised society, nearly, because we have laws that force us to be civilised. Without regulations and laws. Life would be chaos and anarchy. Reflecting what the Internet has become. The notion that a flourishing Internet can't exist with laws and regulations is foolish. It's going to happen so those against it, had best adapt.
