It is an arrogant and incorrect assumption by the entertainment industry that just because I have a broadband internet connection, I pirate their material. I think if they had real studies, they'd learn that a very small percentage of people engage in the activities.

I refuse to have to pay a license fee for something of which I do not engage. I do not need clemency, I do not need forgiveness and I do not need to support an industry that can't get their act together.

Fortunately, the ace in the hole argument against such a proposal has already been listed in this forum; if the motion picture industry and the music industry think they are damaged by piracy, what do you think the pornography industry has going for it? The second the porn industry lines up in Washington looking for their ISP tax, the proposal is dead. So start lobbying for this to include porn.
