Why have so many people forgotten what music is all about?
Music is not merely entertainment, it is not even about making money. Music is about making a connection with people and sharing is an important part of that. I share my love of music with my friends all the time and I do not feel guilty about that. What is the point of music if we cannot share it with the people we care about?
With the Irish government record recently, it would be in the form of a tax to central government which would be used to pay the debts of Capitalist speculators.

Child porn is already blocked. Is there less of it on the Internet? No. Are there fewer pedophiles? No. Are children safer? No.
The only reason they are pursuing an agenda of banning and blocking porn is to create a precedent that will allow them to go after other forms of free speech, like political dissent.
Don't be fooled, folks. This has nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with controlling what information we have access to.

More bullshit expecting everyone but parents to take responsibility for raising children. This nanny state bollocks needs to stop, both in the US and the UK.

There are countless examples of how DRM does not reduce piracy and only punishes those who buy the game legitimately.
Pull your head out of your arse for two seconds and you might see that.

Can we now please agree that DRM makes for a horrible business model?
