Was there any point in Stephen Carter producing the Digital Britain report when the policy was going to be decided at the Rothschild family mansion in Corfu?!

After a failed atempt From a solicitors in london to sue me for illegal sharing of their work an allegation that was completely un founded and after the PRS FORCED my company to pay for a license to play music in my own work place, why should i have any sympathy for artists,actors and so on? Why when i buy a dvd which then becomes my property should i have to sit through 4-6 trailers before i can watch the film i did pay for? Why do i have to pay the PRS to listen to numerous adverts per day on the radio? Why do i have to endure the many no brainer songs on the radio that the artist knows they will be paid for by the PRS? Does the artist struggling mean they can only afford 2 houses instead of 3 or only one Bentley? Maybe producing quality media and not forcing advertisements and licences on people is a way to stop piracy because lets face it 99% of films,music,games and applications are crap and not worth paying for anyway.

Many times, over & over in my head, I have thought of ways to peacefully rebel against an oppressive organization with the goal of obtaining the desired results. Those being, the change or outright eradication of tyrannical laws (such as these). So how do you “fight”? Violence is out. You can’t openly oppose a government by using violence for moral & obvious reasons. Too many people would be slaughtered, and win, lose or draw, wounds & atrocities would be inflicted on both sides, that could never heal.
The only conclusion I have come to is this. If enough people banded together, and through the act of breaking certain non-violent & harmless laws (like this law), outright forced a government to arrest & imprison it’s citizens. You would need millions of “offenders” 10-20 million people minimum, but the more the better. How could a government function if it were forced to arrest, try/convict, & imprison a huge portion of it’s population? Who would do their jobs? Who would pay the taxes to build mass prisons & jail them? Who would make up the lost tax revenue of the jailed? The government would have to either figure that out, or simply change the law.

let me first just say I’m against the whole thing.

BUT – I say this this whole thing go thru. Let the Queen or whoever mandate that 7 million citizens are in violation of this truely heinous of crimes. let them ALL be brought up on charges. Let them ALL refuse to pay the fines.

Then let’s see what happens when the brittish government tries to incarcerate 7 million extra people all at once in the probably already over-flowing prisons in the UK as it is -with all the murderers and rapists and armed robbers.

Oh yeah – this will be fun.

Definitively, some of these p2p sites are hypocrites. Playing two roles, with the MAFFIA and the filesharing movement… Shame on you, TF.
