I'm sure you're pissed off about it, I can tell from your comment. But, you're directing your anger at the wrong person. I'm not pro piracy, I want to creatively market content to make sales, and compete with other creative people. I can't compete with thieves.
So again, not pro piracy, just anti censorship. I do feel the same way you do, which is why I didn't understand the response you gave me.
Sorry Porno Jew, the thread is yours again.

I didn't mean to imply that I was angry at you personally.
It's just that when you're in my shoes, and you read a lot of different people who sort of seem to have an attitude that nothing should be done about piracy...they all start to sort of blur together after a while.
But it wasn't an attack on you. Sorry if it came across that way.
In my position it just makes a person a bit tired of hearing people who aren't having their stuff stolen make broad statements about a law that I've been waiting on for 4 years.
To address your comment "blocking anything from my view is censorship" :
You're not having anything blocked from your view that you can't see by paying the rightful owner.
For instance, right now you can not "see" what's going on in your local strip club. There is a door there, and they won't let us in unless we pay. So are we having it "blocked from our view"?
No, if we pay the cover charge we can go in and see it.
Pirate sites (the ones being targeted very specifically by this law) have NOTHING original on them. It's a "pirate" site.
Meaning that we aren't being censored from seeing anything that isn't already widely available.
That's my point. Hope that makes sense of where I'm coming from.
