The party in power in congress thinks that the president taking a 3-day bus trip is a shameful waste of taxpayer money.

Pirates are itunes best customers, this probably applies to all pirated media.

You are a dangerous type of person that believes every1 should be considered guilty upon accusation and carry the burden of proving if this MIGHT reduce criminality. Ppl like you are shortsighted, you are unable to have a systemic view of the problem.

The Protect Act carries a huge chance of being misused. 100% if you ask me. Just check the lists of “rogue sites” MAFIAA releases every now and then, how US Govt is abusing Patriot Act and so on.

Also, it’s been proven again and again and again that the companies and outfits that are pushing for those laws “for the artists” actually couldn’t care less about them.

Citations (check the citations on those articles too)

This is an example on the music industry. MPAA is not behind.

And, using steal instead of infringe is getting old. Get over it. You assume every single file sharer doesn’t buy and UNFORTUNATELY this isn’t true for a good portion of us. Unfortunately because this money is being used against the ppl in the lobby.

So, do yourself a favor, read about it, get educated and stfu if you are just posting clueless ideas.
