said by cynic10:It's hilarious how people are using child porn to try to make a point on copyright cases. ROFL! This reminds me of the SOPA and the likes where same argument was used.
Child porn is used as the example due to it's extreme nature. The method of collecting the data user info is the same.
Take John out of the piracy seat and put John in the child porn seat, let law enforcement grab user info off an IP. Now we're talking same methods of user retrieval but far more serious charges.
The charges aren't the discussion. If you pirate, deal with the charges. The charges are irrelevant in the IP collection/gathering of consumer information.
Read between the lines.
