Lead was originally added to gasoline as a lubricant for internal combustion engines.
The introduction of catalytic converters in the 70's to reduce emissions demonstrated that lead would render a catalytic converter useless rather quickly.
The motor vehicle manufacturers mandated the of use unleaded fuel to protect the catalytic converter and the EPA got involved in enforcing that.
Clearly we need to get the EPA involved with Facebook.

Ahhh I see it now.........
It isn't a reading comprehension problem you have. We all owe you an apology. Apparently you flat out can not read.
You state "If one isn't "informed" that Techdirt "supports copyright", then you'd never come to that conclusion by reading here." Which is clearly false as anyone who even bothered to read this article much less the many other posts would know.
As for your question, once you discover why YOU are here, you will know the answer.
If you speak the truth, and in this I am inclined to actually believe you for a change, then the "pirates" and the vast majority of the other visitors are here because "it's great fun".
"Also, in a country as large as the US, only the biggest companies can afford to build infrastructures in very low-density areas, thus less competition.
No.
If this were true then the companies involved would welcome smaller companies and communities taking this on themselves instead of actively doing all they can to make sure they can't.

Think of the judges
I mean having a guaranteed job where you get to make your own rules and cannot be fired sounds great but but it is a very taxing position.
Sure they have people to read everything for them and people to write up their opinions for them.
But actually forming an opinion that doesn't reveal their inner weakness is bloody hard.
Won't someone please think of the judges?
