Your frustration and anger will continue to grow as fewer disagree with you that that will continue on into the real world you live in.

No offense but, you may want o get that looked at.

Furthermore, you neither speak, represent nor advocate for Canadians. Your rage filled replies amount to your opinion and nothing more.

Agree to disagree. To carry this on just fuels a possible personality disorder.

Mertastical brings up a good point I’d like to expand on.

There is indeed an vastly untapped market these three knuckled bourbon sucking CEO’s and Politicians are missing because they are so deeply rooted in the ideology o market control and greed driven by the exchange markets.

There is however some in the industry that are aware of the untapped potential piracy has to offer and occasionally you see the odd CEO of R&D popping into the odd IRC offering up some free licenses for officially unreleased software knowing full well it will travel like wildfire.

How do you think Audodesk took over the market with AutoCAD? Then they became complacent when the industry moved to a parametric world so they got wise and started the game all over again. Between making sure their software is easy to crack and buying up leading related companies they have taken back a huge chunk of the market.

The point I’m trying to make is this hidden market is there and it is utilized to a small degree but purely to the advantage of corporate interests and lobbying. They like to keep this hidden from the politicians and the public though.

If they did however decide to fully capitalize on piracy they could stand to rake in vast fortunes but they would be subjected to more peer criticism in the market, and any monopoly they try to give birth too.

Tapping into this hidden market would bring prices to a more realistic level but truly great creations would saturate the market due to this peer critic.

Tapping into this hidden market would also level the playing field in terms of development because that peer critic decides who has the biggest best widget around. Not because corporate power manipulates and controls a market which is the world we live in today.

Imagine if politicians were to start focusing on this untapped piracy market and what they could achieve in votes because of viral social transference.

Imagine if P2P voting were to become acceptable certification in governments.

Naaaaaaa. The world may just end up so much better that would just couldn’t handle it.

First I am pretty sure that every person who is accessing the internet from parliament DOES have a job, they are simply downloading these torrents because it was either easier, or because of other influences on them.

If you don’t have a problem with the article or what we are doing, then you are saying that your post was entirely off topic, and we just to rant?

I don’t enjoy Metallica any more than you, but the other example I had off the top of my head was Bob Foster/Celine Dion. =

Anyway, the rules aren’t cut and dry. I was thinking of the radio rules, you were thinking of TV rules.
