Rules and laws are nothing but human constructs, and as long as the powers that be in other countries are willing to work together and extradite people, then I guess that part of the internet hasn't transcended as much as it thought.


I find this one to be quite the travesty of justice since in the case I think your referencing here what the boy did wasn't illegal in his country.

Censorship =/= stopping piracy. Stopping piracy = stopping piracy. Censorship = censorship(I said I didn't agree with the bills earlier... just so you didn't forget). You can probably find almost anything you want legally on the internet. Most of this would just attempt to stop the pirates.


I don't see how one could stop piracy and not create an environment of censorship. Many legal methods as they stand are willfully uncompetitive.

Are you for or against stopping internet piracy?


I think instead of treating it as a problem to get rid of it should be treated as a possible avenue to peruse.

"It's easier for our software to compete with Linux when there's piracy than when there's not."
"As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade." -Bill Gates

^That as I see it is the smart approach to online piracy.

Do you think sites made to be hubs of e-trading of illegal files for profit should be allowed to exist?


It was made for the trading of all files, not just illegal ones.
