3. Evade putting money in their coffers so they can’t afford to make those costly efforts in the first place.

The corporations buy the politicians, but couldn’t do any harm without government. Force is expensive, that’s why there’s never been a company whose business model is to go door to door holding guns to people’s heads forcing them to buy their product, the pay of the mobsters doing the “sales” plus the cost of a private army to protect the company from reprisal would bankrupt any legitimate business. A company can only naturally survive as long as they are fulfilling a want or need of people, & doing it better or cheaper than everyone else. What government does is make using force, whether it’s a constraint on the consumer, or on competition, possible, by taking the cost off of those who benefit, & spreading it across society in general.

Without government barriers to entry, large companies couldn’t exist, smaller, more responsive companies would be the norm,

So, while corporations are controlling matters as they stand now, if you get rid of government they range from benign to beneficial, while if you got rid of the corporations, but leave the state, then instead of an oligarchy you have a dictatorship. In essence, the “evil” corporation, is just a by product of the government’s evil warping everything it comes in contact with.

Late reader but it’s worth the comment. Awesome read Rick, so far you are making a great addition to the TF crew.

One cannot read this without wondering about the implications of what has been happening lately with freedom of speech and privacy despite their opinions about the article itself.

just wanted to say that I used to regularly share TPB links on facebook, I just whacked them through tinyurl.com first! :P (these days I normally just link to kickasstorrents instead which they’ve yet to start blocking and which has a much user experience anyway :) )

I am a passionate believer in copyright, but agree that the moves government thugs are making to enforce it are completely unacceptable and must be defeated.

Ok, thank you.

No problem here using MSN, may be some clientside ‘feature’ in the official client which I don’t use.
Facebook indeed has it marked as spam and says so when I try to send the url in a message.
