Wow, this stupid. Is there a corporate version of the Death Note, where you write the name of the company you wish to kill and they just go bankrupt within an hour?
Oh sure, let's legalize spyware. That will fucking end well. You know, I won't be surprised if they fall victim to spyware and they decide "you know, maybe this is a bad idea" and rebuke it.
The Pirates will win regardless. They'll use this as ammunition for why copyright must be reformed and use it as justifications of sticking it to "the man".
Even if Universal get away with this, this is just going to be further fuel for the fire when we call them out. It's obvious and clear as paper. Let's make sure they'll remember their idiocy like how a traumatized high-schooler remembers being bullied.
You know, I just gotta ask the logic in having this plan where the ISPs are forced to act as judge, jury, and executioner.
People will leave after seeing that the ISPs are mistreating them more than they already are, and soon their money will fall down the drain. If that happens, I think it's only fair they go and force the MAFIAA to pay up for their lost money, since it was their idea in the first place.
Disney should just make the Ultimate Collectors Boxset with every single Disney Movie currently made and be done with it. They'll get their money from the obsessed, and people will be happy knowing that they just got every single Disney Movie.
But nope. We have to deal with bullshit like this that propagates piracy. My advice, Disney? Don't come crying when you realize that this decision led to a boost in Bittorrent downloads or views of full length Disney movies on Youtube. You brought that shit on yourself.
Hey, not removing a legislation that not only is gonna create more problems, but is actively opposed by the goddamn White House, the guys who REALLY run this show, isn't a very good idea.
Especially when you have a shit load of people who oppose this bill that can easily vote you out with a flick of a wrist.
