NO, NO, NO, people are not that stupid. Most educated people don't wonder, but rather lament the fact so many people are in prison in the US. The vast majority of U.S. prisoners are non violent offenders. You Wana lock someone up now and force me to pay my taxes to in-prison a broke college student who likes to listen to music and shares his collection with other like minded students? Get Real.

TScheisskopf World News Trust join:2005-02-13 Belvidere, NJ ·Sprint Broadband D..	reply to BF69 HEY KARL!!! Kaaarrrrlll!!! Please, can we have a demerit system in these threads about the RIAA? One that automatically hits any poster that brings up the specious equivalency between pirated anything and child porn, child rape, child molestation and child auto seats with a negative score? God weeps and a kitty dies every time this half-a**ed argument is put forth.

yabos join:2003-02-16 Ingersoll, ON	reply to BF69 Yeah it's illegal and I won't argue about whether it should be or not but it'd really dumb they would throw someone in jail for such a small amount when the person isn't hurting anything. If they have 10lbs in their trunk then throw the book at them but when the person isn't hurting anyone except perhaps themselves it's not a good thing to throw someone in jail for that. I don't live in the States but I do watch Cops and they arrest people for things like that. They say "oh it's not a big deal but we're arresting you.."

ph03n1x join:2003-02-15 Sanford, FL	reply to BF69 Yeah right laws against child molestation. What a fucking joke those laws have been made into lately. People that do that should be put down like rabid dogs, but these days we have people in jail for longer for copying DVDs or possessing a little bit of weed. Child rapists are constantly being let out of jail early or given light sentences. Disgusting.

ph03n1x join:2003-02-15 Sanford, FL	reply to BF69 The rampant piracy of content, while it has caused a bunch of bullshit spin and lawsuits has also led to the creation of: iTunes Yahoo Music Real Rhapsody eMusic Napster (legal version) MTV Urge Zune Movielink CinemaNow BitTorrent Store (legal version) Vongo Amazon UnBox Netflix Blockbuster Online Are these options all good ones? Most certainly not. Some are absolutely unusable and are no real step in the right direction. Some however, are quite popular and pretty good (iTunes, Netflix) alternatives to piracy. Sure, the content "mafiaa" should abandon DRM and get with the program full force instead of pushing out more asinine half-hearted attempts like Vongo, but the fact remains that if there was no rampant piracy of content, digital download services either would be far far worse or would not even exist at all. As for the statement of $58b in "piracy losses" per year, that's 100% pure bullshit.

And people wonder why so many people are in prison in the US. (bolding mine) Call us when you actually have some data to back that supposed theory you have outlined here since, as the facts would stand, it is wrong. Maybe we should start locking people up who state things as fact without data to back it up... Hmmm. -- Prove it... Save the Internet Time (NTP) service, use the pool.

BF69 join:2004-07-28 Camden, TN	reply to yabos said by yabos : Yeah, it's because you can go to jail for having a roach in your ash tray. First of all pot is ILLEGAL. If you wish it not to be do something about it or move to Canada or Alaska. Secondly in most states just having a roach in your ashtray won't get you any jail time. Maybe a years probabtion at most. Thirdly if you are that dumb to leave a roach in your ashtry for the cops to find maybe you deserve jail.
