Terrorists also eat sh!t and sleep.
I recommend immediate seizure of food dispersal entities, issuance of butt-plugs, and mandatory caffeine infusions!
Don’t want any of our populace to succumb to TERRORISM, do we?

Its Simple

Download = Free
Free = Nothing for Gangs or Terrorism.

I would say that if you don’t want to give money to Gangs or Terrorism or any other Bully boys you must download.

As a up standing menmper of the public your only option to protect the rest of us is to Download.

This report tells you its the only way to be sure you are not supporting crime.

Long live TPB

All of this boils down to the fact that the people in supposedly free countries are just rats in a cage. In the beginning the government needed us and worked toward helping better their country. Now it has become a self serving line of B.S. I am an American and can’t stand what we have become. We police everything while claiming we are so great and so free. Other countries got along way before us and could continue to do so without our influence. My point is that even though millions of people download, there are millions more still paying for it. They can’t stand someone else having the control. It’s just like game consoles or iphones for example. They sell you a product at a ridiculously high price and then limit what you can do with it. It is mine, I bought it and should be able to do what I want with it. I should not have to search the internet for ways to hack and unlock my purchases. The economy in America is snowballing horribly right now. I’m over here laughing because instead of the MPAA and others maybe using some of their vast wealth to help others and gain respect. They want to go on a crusade to punish people for downloading movies, games ,and music. Things that they have already got millions for. They will spend an insane amount to punish the pirate bay. Money out the window. It’s just like George Bush and his idiots signing a bill to bailout WallStreet. Billions of dollars. Everyone in America could have got over a hundred thousand a piece. Money that would have had people out buying cars, houses, etc. That would have gotten the economy flourishing again, but no. Lets give the rich more money when they were already irresponsible with what they had. So I say that if piracy is terrorism then I am in fact a terrorist. My first act as a terrorist will be to ban government ignorance and bring back large angry picket sign, chanting, and when all else fails we can reinstate the messy but effective street riots.

@Eclipse and Repoman. 134, 140, 141, 159.

The people that post such ignorant comments are the ones that won’t ever even see yours. Because yours aren’t the first 3 comments at the top of the page. None of them are looking to have a conversation thats the problem. It’s like this in every disagreement that has ever existed. There are the people on either extreme, who refuse to even listen to what the other side has to say and will just blindly repeat the same thing over and over again. Hoping, if they say it enough, people will agree with them.

Eclipse, You are right in saying that we need to teach people the truth. Many people don’t know how to use a computer, not because they are dumb, but because they think they are more complicated then they are. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve tried to explain torrenting to and they just brush it off as too complicated because it isn’t the one click fix that Napster and such were/are.

My biggest dream is for people to realize that their computer is the only media device they need. I want people to realize that a computer isn’t just something that browses the internet or writes papers. They need to know that their video game console or iPod are just computers with tons of protections built into them, to prevent you from using them the way you want.

Spread the truth people, tell your grandma’s, sisters, friends, and parents what you can do with a computer.

One last tip be as networked as possible and keep backups. : )

“in some areas the influence of these industry lobbyists extends into law enforcement and political leaders, who are bought, intimidated, or induced to create “protected spaces” where misinformation flourishes.”

change a few words and it still fits.

[...] “…the MPAA funded report report titled ‘Film Piracy, Organized Crime, and Terrorism’ claims that terrorist groups use film piracy to finance their activities, while organized gangs see it as a significant revenue stream. Selling pirated goods is a ‘low-risk, high-profit enterprise’ which attracts criminals of all sorts according to the report. And, as if that is not bad enough, in some areas the influence of these pirating gangs extends into law enforcement and political leaders, who are bought, intimidated, or induced to create “protected spaces” where crime flourishes…” (Quelle und Originaltext: torrentfreak.com) [...]
