What are these guys smoking? Do they think that even the US Government is so stupid as to buy into their looney argument? Amazing!

00000 | The government isnt stupid, its greedy. And they are the ones buying into the government. Literally. Bribery of congresspeople is the quickest way to get a legal enforcement crusade against whatever you dont like. |

| Cool, I see supporters here. I am a "bandwidth hog" if thats what they want to call me, and over the last 2 years I have DLed some 18Tbytes of stuff useing cantennas and ddwrt linky routers to stay anonomous from those pesky **aa's. But lets get real. In just a few years, everybody is going to be sucking Terrabyte as they watch Tv and Radio over the internet. I am just quick to get in line first. When I post about this subject, I am usually attacked, and my posts are frequantly enormously delayed and the last post I did last week was never even posted. I only post about P2Ping because I like to rally suport and excitement about it. Lots have already joined in, but if everybody joined in, it would simply become the new law of the land.
And its not really new law. It is really Old law Deep Pocket Moguls are trying to quietly kill. I am talking about free TV and radio. They hooked us with pay cable and took away the perks of cheap rates and commercial free. They hooked us just like cigaret companys did, then played with the chemicals to hook us even more. Now free anaolog TV has been outlawed and is dying out. With digital TV, individual control of TV viewership is within their grasp. They now have the power to bill our viewing on a pay-per-view basis. Even free radio is under attack with new proposals to repeal exzemptions allowing for freedom to broadcast. We see what is happening with internet radio, being forced to pay like nobody has paid before. Without help, they don't stand a snowballs chance in hell. The Big Moguls whine about fairness but they take no prisoners in their fight. They want total control and they want all your money. Just like the Oil and Gas industry does now. We are hooked on energy and now we pay pretty much what ever they say. And there is not much the government can do about it.
P2P is the only monkey wrench standing in their way. A powerful weopon invented by the people tired of dacades of promisses and CD price fixing. Embrace it, it's your friend. With P2P, the privalaged concept of free TV and Radio will live on on the internet. If the people want it, they will get it. They can't kill the power of the people. So start up a P2P app today. If we can win this thing, future entertainment content will continue to be free for our viewing pleasure paid for by the time tested ad driven business model.  If we loose, we will be slaves to our addiction to entertainment whose bill will always be at the edge of what we can tolerate with all alternatives squashed into exstinction. |

First of all, free TV is still available---I don't know where you came up with that nonsense. Second of all, P2P wasn't invented by "the people" (whatever that means). Thirdly, the creative community does not, I repeat, does not work for free. They want to be compensated for their work like anyone else.
Your generalizations and banal excuses for committing robbery are so typical of a certain element of our society--the young and immature. You sound like a five year old completely under the control of "old law deep pocket moguls" Take responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming forces beyond your control. |
