People and their "anti-piracy" bullshit amuse me.

I wonder how many sites they will have to block to prevent piracy. There are so much sites you can find to download whatever song just by doing a Google-search. Maybe Google and all search engines should be blocked?

Those government needs to get it into their heads that downloading copyrighted materials isn't the same as stealing, especially if the person would have never brought that material even without downloading.

Also, the Entertainment sector needs to adapt to the internet, not try to fight it.

This, and this.

I know for a fact that by pirating, I have generated plenty of money for the entertainment companies. Something that I simply would not have paid money for, I download, tell someone else about how I thought it was good, they buy it.

I can understand why people would be interested in stopping internet piracy, but they're doing it the completely wrong way.

In this case people dont buy it, who would want to pay for a product when anyone can find a source to get it for free?

You seem to think that I tell them that I pirated it in the first place.

I particularly like this part:

"Internet censorship is growing in scope and becoming easier. Yet it never has the effect desired. It simply turns criminals into heroes."
