"You sue a corporation, who the fuck do you think they'll send"
Probably no one, which case it's an auto-win for you.
If they do send someone, like you say, it's not cost-efficient to send a lawyer, so why would they send one?
So, really, AJ, what's your point?
"Hope you don't start crying like last week."
You mean when you were being a total asshat and pissed EVERYONE off and you acted like a stereotypical jock in high school holding up your hands and going "woah, calm down" to try and play off others as being in the wrong when you were?
Nice try, AJ, really.
All you did was show that you're an immature troll.
"I believe that piracy slows the growth of more robust distribution."
I have to disagree, without piracy, some industries would never take off.
For example, the anime industry would have NEVER become popular in the west had it not been for scanlations of manga in the early 90s (Ranma 1/2 benefited from this the most) (This infringed on IP a lot). The most popular anime in Japan today, One Piece, for example, would have been completely ignored in the West had it not been for people seeing scanned translations and then going to others "hey, this is pretty good", getting others to read and enjoy it.
Crunchyroll is an anime website that, at one point, was nothing but a piracy haven. It's now a legitimate business that gets into deals with anime companies to distribute their stuff online.
They started as IP infringers, but would eventually work with the people who own the IPs to become a real major force.
I believe the fact that the Supreme Court has stated, time and time again, that the Constitution trumps all laws (save amendments) that the government makes, it *IS* the thing that holds up the government.
Granted, there are times that I think the Supreme Court has its head up its ass, but that's neither here nor now.
Are you sure you're okay with 200 million Americans not having ANY 4th Amendment protections, including a majority of California, New York, all of Florida, the entirety of the New England area...

Re:
The government gets its authority from the constitution.
If the constitution doesn't apply, then the government can't get authority to grant anyone anything.
Just think on that for awhile.

Like I said before...
The law of the land is granted to the government by the constitution, if it doesn't apply within 100 miles, then why should Federal law apply?

They seriously think Google can police the internet.
Seriously, they should remember that IP is NOT easy to spot.
