Quote - When did access to stolen goods become a Constitutional right?

When did stealing works that you didn't think have any artistic merit become ethical?

When did downloading a ripped CD for free because the quota of Good songs to Crap songs didn't meet some mystical level become Just?

The reason our politicians are corrupt is because we are corrupt.

The reason our politicians are hypocrites is because we are hypocites.

Do you honestly think that Google, Amazon and Facebook are against this bill because of altruistic reasons or, are they against this bill because it will cost them money to implement and effect their bottom lines?

Not ever bill is an evil design to control the world.

Sorry for the blather, Have a great New Year.

 

In principle, I totally agree. I get sick of hearing all these lame excuses that are nothing more than reasons for people to justify theft. I would love to have the government tell google that they can't have illegal torrent sites show up on a search page whenever you do a search for anything, that in itself would be a very welcome change.

I can totally see how it can get out of hand though. Just like any kind of enforcement, what measures are there to keep the enforcer in line? Also, if there is no way to enforce this globally, it is pointless as much of the piracy comes from countres that have governments that could care less about copyright.

Quote - Piracy is a service problem. Improve your service better than the pirates and piracy will be gone forever.

Nope, piracy is an ethics and morality problem.
