[Eye catching subject would go here]

quote:
"Would the government permit Federal Express or UPS to knowlingly operate delivery services in which 60%-70% of the payload consisted of contraband such as illegal drugs or stolen goods? Surely, the government would not turn a blind eye if nearly three-quarters of the Internet's traffic consisted of child pornography."
No, but copyright infringement isn't exactly child pornography or illegal drugs. Last I checked underaged children weren't violated in ways that no child should ever be when I downloaded that MP3 the other day...and I know that I've never taken a bad psychadelic trip and became addicted by watching a tainted TV episode I missed and downloaded from bittorrent.

If they wanted to draw a better comparison, I think they should have asked if the government would let 60-70% of people drive faster then the speed limit. Oh wait, in most metropolitan areas that is the case.

THANK YOU! Those were my thoughts when I read this article -- comparing P2P to child pornography is almost too ridiculous for words.
