don't you get.
Every tyrant believes they are not a tyrant
the definition is not mine it the definition of a founding father of your country
slave owners had the money too yet slavery was abolished.
America was founded by revolting against those with the money.
the fact that you admitted there is a risk proves that the you see the law being abused to destroy the freedoms the founding fathers held to be inalienable.
we live in a world where public statements like yours live forever on the internet.
Ask yourself a question do you think you would ever get elected to office if i could put your current quote in a campaign ad against you.
with the tag line "selling out your freedoms to the highest bidder" at the end.
if you think any politician is going to commit political suicide defending that position your dead wrong.
That exactly why every previous bill died or got chopped to hell before it gets passed.

Put the crack pipe down. Now you are just making yourself look stupid. If you can't tell the difference between slavery and pirating you need to sue whatever education system it is that graduated you.
Could I run for political office by telling people that those with the money make the rules and win? Probably not. That doesn't change the fact that it is a 100% true statement.
Why do you think we had a financial meltdown? Because those with the money changed the laws to benefit them so that they could do basically whatever they wanted at the expense of everyone else and they drove it into the dirt.
Bush allowed executives from major oil and power companies to work with Dick Cheney to help shape his energy policy. Lobbyists outnumber elected officials in washington by around 600 to 1. Money runs our system. Hell the supreme court just ruled that companies are people who have freedom of speech protection and can spend infinite amounts supporting or opposing political candidates. It is the dirty secret few people talk about because they like to imagine that we live in a fair society.
Every other bill has failed because it has had flaws it as does this one. Things aren't going to change tomorrow or next week or next month, but if piracy continues to grow and profits continue to shrink things will change and it won't be in your favor.
If you want to preserve your fair use rights you need to tell your pirate friends to stop stealing shit they have no rights to.
