Campaign promise does not equal "set to dump"Set to dump is way too strong considering it is only a campaign promise.. and about as likely as cleaning up the Tour De France. |

Paying a Tax Because They Assume All/Most Are CriminalsIf they are forcing people to pay a tax just because they think all/most will break the law then I think they are creating a self-fulling prophecy.
If I've got no choice but to pay a tax because they think I'm going to "steal" their content then I might as well do so. I'm already being forced to pay for it, so I might as well make the most out of it... |

Accused of Copyright Infraction"However, it's very clear that three strikes' shelf life appears to be limited -- as is the entertainment industry's long push to have repeat copyright offenders kicked off of the Internet."
Since the, if I remember correctly, the law does not require proof but only an accusation so that "repeat" should be "accused". Three claims gets you kicked off the Internet not three proven cases. |

Re: Paying a Tax Because They Assume All/Most Are CriminalsThis is the main flaw with a "Piracy Tax" The moment internet service gains a "tax" that goes right to the IP rights holders they lose lots of ground in court battles because a defense lawyer could turn around and call the tax equal to payment of a license fee. |
