Society is not going to stand by and allow a small segment of scum in society to steal copyright protected works. Denial does not change the laws. Facilitation of criminal acts is punishable as it should be. All Pirates will eventually get their due. |

Well, I agree in part. Downloading copyrighted materials will eventually lead to a decrease in people wanting to produce copyrighted material since profits will be less. On the other hand, a lot of copyrighted material (movies) have already been seen by users in the theater or (software) they wouldn't be able to purchase it anyway (think Pagemaker). However, software piracy won't end easily. Sweden, Russia, African nations who want hard currency will all open their doors to sites that the RIAA and MPAA won't be able to reach. We've already seen that with court cases in Sweden and Russia where US based media companies lost. Now, with VPN tunneling that is offered in Sweden, the RIAA won't even be able to trace Western users who are willing to pay 5 Euros/month to use a secure VPN tunnel to Sweden (relakks.com). Every time the RIAA or MPAA chase someone out of the US or other Western nation, a workaround surfaces. |

And meanwhile, I can walk into my local library and check out that certain CD, take it home, burn it, and so it all legally! ROFL. Ironic, isn't it?!?!? |

The only way you are going to start finding every Pirate is if isp's are forced to start doing deep packet inspection. So they can see what information is actually being retrieved. Most Pirates are not dumb enough to get caught. Most are pretty tech savy that probably know tons more than you. Good luck catching every single Pirate in the world. A good amount of the people that do get busted are from the US not overseas. |

What is your definition of facilitator? Why do you automatically A$$ume that usenet is facilitating copyright infringement? If not mistaken it has been around for quite awhile and has definite legit purpose. I'm not into porn, file sharing etc, but for those that are, more power to them.
After visiting their site, I coulndn't find where it mentioned downloading mp3's either, Peace

So you're saying that 50% of the population won't stand idly by and watch the other 50% pirate music. You're sure right about that. The other 50% are going to join in and pirate too. If only we could get the piracy rate to 100% we could get rid of these RIAA scum bags altogether. |

No, what's going to happen is that the continual litigation machine of the RIAA/MPAA will wake the citizenry up to the pure folly that has become the copyright/patent mess and the laws will be restored to what they were intended to be in the first place: a LIMITED and TEMPORARY reward for creating or discovering something "new" [as if there were anything "new" under the sun nowadays]. You can fool "the people" for only so long before they wise-up to your abuse.
Of course, we have to remove all of those crooked and self-serving politicians from office first. |

I think you are entrusting waaaaaay too much faith in today's society. Who can barely put together an effective neighborhood watch much less care about what I'm downloading and if they do, well their sense of justice and morality is horribly askew since there are far more pressing matters we need to worry about besides facilitate in the fattening of the wallets of the Corporate/Hollywood wealthy. |

Wow Taylor. That's quite a catch of flame responses you got there. Have to admit your post was sharp and to the point with minimal rhetoric. I guess you deserve the haul you got on this net. |
