I like all the comments posted by people who think they know what they’re talking. Let me single someone out real quick:

MOOP, you’re an idiot.

“Oh noes! This will surely happen, because people are willing to be subjected to gross invasions of privacy (which aren’t illegal). They are going to go to a theater where they get raped to make sure there aren’t any cameras on them, and pay for things they can’t keep. Yep.”

Wow, if you’d made that post like 10 years ago, I would have forgiven you. Or did you come out of a coma yesterday?

You think people don’t subject themselves to invasion of privacy? Been to an airport recently? Ever tried to get a loan for a house? Do you think you KEEP your internet connection when you pay for it, or your digital cable, or your car insurance, or you X-Box Live subscription?

MOOP, you’re a goddamn fool.

You “everything should be free” zealots really are silly. You shouldn’t really blame the corporations that distribute entertainment (music & movies) for limiting culture exposure. The artists are the people who sign contracts with those companies. The RIAA doesn’t just automatically own rights to every piece of music ever produced. The artist must sign some kind of contract which gives up some of his or her rights. If he/she/they do not understand these rights, they should not sign these contracts and work with these companies.
If there is any artist out there that doesn’t mind people downloading/sharing his or her work, then that artist should have skipped the record company alltogether and released their work to the internet and asked for donations.

In a free society this cannot become reality. The EU now has laws that allow the free flow of information, Freedom of information act. The only people that may make this a reality is America, which is why the EU was formed, to balance the power a bit. At the moment America has more stringent laws on bittorrent use than europe, where bittorrents are not illegal in themselves, just using what you download is. In short, America is going down the same route as China, and I thought they didn’t like communism?

Time for a change when recorded media is so expensive thast it cant be supported by the3 fans. This is not the fans fault and the mmpa does not have the industry self intrest at heart or that of the fans. It only has its (The MMPA only) selfish intrest at heart and has promised what it cannot deliver it is only going to get worse while the industry at large is eating shit w2hen it thinks MMPA is evergoing to put a $ in their pockets WAHAHA. LOL dont come close. Some one has to pay the bills for the MMPA and their the ones that dont understand fact that they have ignored reality and funded ignorance.

in which case it might be a good idea to turn off the machine and go for a nice walk in the woods.

This is the best piece of sci-fi i have ever read, even though the thought of it may come to be reality. There will always be someone who slips under the radar and will punch through to release their latest bag of tricks.
I’d preferably rather kik bak at home and enjoy my entertainment without a bunch of screaming brats running around, and 6th grade girls who look like they should be hookn the red light district.
LONG LIVE TORRENT
