In short, the highest boss in the justice department is a known child-rapist, and is getting blackmailed with that fact.

“Just let the entertainment industry role over and die.”
Wow, this is exactly why piracy needs to be stopped. Pirates only care about themselves. They think the world revolves around them and that the whole world is there just to play along with their self satisfied, lazy ego.

There is a lot of studies saying exactly the contrary that or don’t have an impact at all relevant or it spawn new commerce and more revenues for the economy.

Besides that the “fair use” crowd bring more revenue than the MAFIAA could ever put on the table (45 trillion dollars)

“REVENUE
In 2006, fair use industries generated revenue of $4.5 trillion, a 31
percent increase over 2002 revenue of $3.5 trillion. In percentage
terms, the most significant growth occurred in electronic shopping,
audio and video equipment manufacturing, Internet publishing and
broadcasting, Internet service providers and web search portals, and
other information services.”

It’s not a question of if but when they are going for others.

And don’t expect the U.S. government to change its ways if nothing Obama loves the RIAA as he appointed 5 lawyers of the RIAA and didn’t let anybody see the ACTA thingy because it’s a matter of national security.

Canada is one of our closest neighbors, and I doubt that they openly condone violating American copyrights.

Canada has copyright laws too

The situation with that only applies to music. Movies, games, etc. are still illegal. You took that out of context
