Yeah right.
Drone attacks that kill innocent civilians in the Middle East
Being so far up Israel's arse that you would sell out your own people to please such a 'friend'
Imposing you economic, military and cultural will on other nations with impunity
Same here. I would not favour gun bans, but I would favour mandatory background checks and psyche evals for all sales. Giving guns to crazy people is just stupid.
I would blame mental health issues before I would blame bad parenting. Sometimes these issues are cause by bad/negligent parents but quite often they are not.
Artists are already starting to compromise with pirates through pay-what-you-want offerings, crowd funding, social media and giving away a song or two to generate buzz ahead of a new album release.
I think you meant that the INDUSTRY (by that I mean RIAA/BPI etc) will have to one day compromise with pirates.
Re: Re: Re: Why does this blocking concern anyone here?
Punish the innocent for the sins of the guilty, eh? You do realise that pirates will still pirate, right? Or are you too much of a moron to realise that? The only people who suffer from censorship are the innocent.
Look at Kim Dotcom, he had a service, Megaupload, which was taken down. What did that case accomplish? Massive publicity for him and his new service, and the tide of public opinion in his favour. Who lost out? Those who had their legitimate files stored on his old service.
You are right about one thing, I have a completely guilt less conscience because I do not pirate. In fact, I probably spend more on music, books, DVDs than you do. Take your bullshit somewhere else.
Um, because I have downloaded Linux .iso files and other open source software from these and similar sites. That is perfectly legal activity. There are many open source developers and independent content creators, as well as their users and fans, who are going to be seriously inconvenienced by this. These are the ONLY people who suffer from these blocks.
End of VPNs and encryption = end of just about every private business and government department on the planet. That will bring economic hardship on a scale never seen before, and that will bring massive civil unrest and even revolution.

And yet they think being able to walk into Walmart and buy a gun is perfectly fine.
Americans are funny.
