Gaithersburg, MD | Pick a lane... I dunno, the thing I find the most disappointing is the idea that IF the majority of internet users are file trading, then that's what the majority wants to do. What folks at NBC are saying (once again, assuming their numbers are remotely accurate) is "Efforts should be made to punish the majority so the minority can be protected." Sounds like a sharp contradiction to "of the people, by the people" to me.
Of course, if the majority of users are NOT file trading, then NBC doesn't need such a draconian level of protection like they claim. So which is it, NBC? "The majority are wrong and need to be stopped!" or "We're lying about the numbers because we don't really have a claim but we wish we did"? |

Floral Park, NY | Wow... child porn and illigal drugs. I guess it's true that if you scare somebody (no matter how unrelated the scare), you can get people to go along with anything...
Next thing you know, the NSA will be monitoring internet traffic for copyright infringement lol...
Such stupidity, I dont know whether to laugh or cry that people actually listen... |

Gaithersburg, MD | Sure, but the NSA won't be monitoring in order to protect the copyright owners, but rather to intercept all those terrorist bombing plans that are encrypted in Deal or No Deal (sure, yeah, that's the ticket!). If they happen to also compile a database of filetraders that the entertainment industry can use for civil lawsuits, well, that's just a coincidence.
See? AT&T's recent announcement that they will start going after filetraders is the culmination of their years of cooperating with the NSA! It's AAAALLLL makin' sense now...  |
