UK | Oh Dear They Might Get The Encryption Right Could be some problems ahead if, unlike the other obfuscated BT clients, they get it right and properly impersonating HTTPS or similar.
Got to love TPB though, fantastic  |

Without sites like TPB and overall Internet piracy the cable industries business model would continue to zap us in the butt!
Due to TPB and piracy the content industry is forced to change and offer things like Hulu and or Joost, which are just the beginning of such offerings. As time goes on there will be more of these sites and less of a need/demand for the cable TV business model.
Hooray for TPB and piracy they both prompt cool innovation and a much needed disruptive, positive change in the market for consumers! |

said by fAcEtIOUs:Why? Because they facilitate the stealing of music? I do apologise that I offended your sensibilities. RIAA check will be in the mail to you I'm sure. I note only mentioning music and ignoring the mass of other material that TPB facilitate the theft of and there are plenty.
Oh I don't care what they facilitate their attitude amuses me, I hope it is ok with you that TPB amuse me, as your sanctimonious attitude also does.  |

Couldn't have said it better myself. Piracy might one day lead to something useful and something people will pay for to get the media they desire. |

Actually they don't facilitate the stealing of music... it would be copyright infringement.
Also, not everything there is illegal, especially outside of the United States. |

said by fAcEtIOUs:Why? Because they facilitate the stealing of music? *shrugs* If a protocol can facilitate P2P huge file distributions that gets around current BT harping, I'd be all for it. All my uses of BT are legal. If I could use a protocol that gets around the "ooooh, piracy!" crap filters, so much the better. |

Remember people, there are places in the world where is legal to download music.
In Canada it is totally legal to download mp3s. That's why I can't understand why any Canadian would buy a mp3 from an on-line store.
So, PB, go ahead and finish up the new protocol.

Yea.. you are right. Piracy, a crime, may certainly lead to something better.. I guess the ends justify the means... Great argument.
Now.. may I?
How do you feel about the warrant-less wire taps? I personally don't like them and think they are a violation of the law. They are claimed to be illegal... Bush is breaking the law - a VERY VERY popular belief here. He's got the communications companies in with him too. Bush says that by doing what he does, our country is much safer today!
So, doesn't that make warrant-less wiretaps a good thing? I mean.. based on your views.. I'd have no choice but to agree.
/sacrasm
No.. violating the law in hopes of something better in the end is not a good idea. It's called anarchy. Is that what you want?
Seriously, I can't believe you guys even stand for that.. either that, or people who follow your views love double standards.

This is how we/the world treats countries that condone theft from other countries.

This is a private market sector dispute, the government doesn't need to provide additional pressure.
