The first unscrupulous corporation discovers SOPA is an excellent tool for shooting the competition out of the water and other corps follow the trend.

2013 or 2014 will be the year when government officials start backpedaling fast when the general electorate starts demanding the head of whoever broke their youtube/facebook/blog experience on a silver platter. Savvy legitimate people at this time start using pirate tools so they can keep their own internet experience functional.

If someone wants to release their work openly without copyright they are completely free to do that. Go for it. But if someone releases their work with copyright then pirate downloaders are violating the copyright law. There’s a ton of rationalizations that pirates make but I get tired of hearing them. If you want to change the copyright law get to it. But don’t pretend you are somehow justified in violating it before it’s changed. Why not be like Stallman and just refuse to consume copyrighted non-free content? He at least did something, created the GPL, and only uses GPL licensed software. Why don’t you just refuse to download licensed content illegally? Live with the entertainment provided by those who distribute it for free without copyright protection. That would be the ethical thing to do, and would also strike a blow for your cause by not giving money to those who distribute licensed copyrighted entertainment for a charge.

If I refuse it will only hurt them in the end, I have nothing to lose. It’s they who have something to lose.

Why would you wish for me to strike a blow, when they have nothing to lose from me making a copy of something?

Some people will never understand until SOPA goes through, so just let it and have fun with the economy collapsing. It was a fun ride, but now we must suffer. It is clear that when the domain name servers are being targetted that our economy is in dire straits. It is pretty clear actually that things aren’t going to get better until it completely bottoms out. Bring on SOPA I say as I don’t really care if I can or cannot download your useless fucking garbage, simple because I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE DUMB MOTHER FUCKERS I AM POOR!

Keep up the good work.

2011 Review:
Things got worse and then some light emerged at the end of the tunnel.
The copyright idiots played right into the file sharers hands by pushing their case more radical towards the edge and making even more people aware of what they intend to accomplish.

2012 Prediction:
Now that people are aware we’ll experience the beginning of the end of criminalizing people over copyrighted material. More and more people will fight back and eventually politics will have to give in.
They won’t apologize, though – politicians NEVER apologize :D!

I believe 2012 will be a good year :)!
