I know I would, but as there ARE comebacks and punishments, I'm not.

So there you go, an example of comebacks having an impact on piracy.
The effect against piracy so far has been little. That will not be allowed to continue.

Damian's argument is it has had little effect so far.

Well we will never know how much an effect making it legal would of had. And the future is in front of us.

If it were legal, I could take Twistys site, stick it on a server and sell memberships. Not illegal, VISA probably would turn a blind eye, affiliates wouldn't give a shit and I have a site that I can make money with by selling memberships. That is what Damian, GG and others will see if they have their way of no one doing nothing.

Yes the war on drugs hasn't been won, so make it legal. And then every dope dealer can sell what ever he likes. Or bring it in with Laws ruling it's distribution. And see the zombies multiply from being hooked on heroin.

If we end up with a hammer to crack a walnut solution. It will be the fault of the pirates.
