Re: I'm proud to be an American said by Omega:I think everyone on this site knows that you are anti-piracy and pro-RIAA/MPAA, which is ok, its your opinion. But, what I don't understand is why you support more regulation and governmental involvement on the internet (especially since you come from a conservative background). Regardless if these policies limit piracy, they will harm the innovation and freedom of the internet, which imo far outweighs trying to prevent some poor college student from downloading a song. Because he and others like him support regulation ONLY when it means more $$$ for the bottom line of his masters, nothing more. As soon as the regulation being considered is made to trump the shady practices of his masters towards their customers, he suddenly starts blabbering about less regulation and how it is not the government business to get involved. In other words, just like the companies he vehemently defends, he wants to have his cake and eat it. It has nothing to do with common sense.
