A thought occurs: governments are becoming less relevant to the population of the world.
...and this fact scares the be-f***ing-jebus out of the government.
If we thought the death throes of the MAFIAA were bad, the death throes of the governments (as they reach obsolescence, rather than thru any coup or revolt) will likely be exponentially worse.
With this list memorized, I can very carefully visit a hotel, exhibiting most all of these "signs" and then, when arrested for no reason, sue the Feds for wrongful arrest!
Even better, the same Feds will probly fall for the same schtick over and over.
(I just put $5 into my "I will not feed the trolls" jar, so, here goes)
Has HBO ever shown something to which they do not have total control? (I believe the answer is a resounding "no", but feel free to disprove this assertion.) Louis CK maintains control to distribute his way (cheap, online, sans DRM) after an agreed upon contractual window has passed.
Who said it wouldn't be pirated? Of course it will be pirated; anything which is good enough to be shared is pirated and shared. The real shame would be if it was so bad that nobody pirated it. The real question should be: how many of those pirates will become paying customers? (See: Batman, highest grossing && most pirated film) Piracy acts as an enhancer; good things get more money (eg "this is awesome, let's go see it in the theatre!") and piss-poor things get less money (eg "glad I didn't pay to see that piece of shyte!")
DRM-free and "free" are not the same words (duh). Your rather formulaic ad-hom is getting stale and dried-out, not unlike the aforementioned shyte. Please try harder, we expect greater quality from trolls and shills on this site.
Your dissembling needs work, try not to make your falsehoods to easily transparent. Attempt to better couch your logical fallacies in more emotional arguments which seem logical.
Keep up the good work. With some improvement, you should end up with a very good grade by semester's end.
The same group of people for whom "online" isn't really real, or it's only something they see in movies.
Despite using it, experiencing the utility, there's a disconnect between "online" and "reality" in their brains. Fairly common with many people (IMHO).
...and once the framework for enforcing 'no anonymity' is in place, it becomes a simple matter to lump in other 'dangerous groups' of people.
Likely they'll start with felons, then move on to fraudsters, pollsters, delinquents, and finally just everybody who's ever expressed a negative opinion about the regime.
Doubtful. If one pays attention, it's obvious they never really bother to hide anything behind more than a thin veneer of civil service.
People simply do not pay attention, or do not care enough to do anything.
Those few who do care are marginalized. The man yelling "this will do nothing!" would be removed by security. Later, he'd be smeared on Fox/CNN as a nutter; a crazy conspiracy theorist who's also a racist and a pedophile.
The average (un)informed person would laugh a little about the loud nutjob and continue on, oblivious to what they see but fail to comprehend.

I know, right? It's patently unpossible that millions of people on the internet could possibly notice a thing they were interested in, you tard. </pew-pew-pew>
