[QUOTE=mobrockers;24418782]But no government has anything to do with it, but because all these big companies have ties with politicians, is why this shit is getting down.[/QUOTE]
So therefore government has everything to do with it...
[QUOTE=+AntoniD;24419208]why would a ligitimate digital distribution program that sells things legally be shut down because of an anti piracy law.[/QUOTE]
Because of the stupidity of many companies.
And the fact execs can pull anything they want with this bill.

It's the stupidity of people in general, the companies which will be using this to their advantage, and the people pirating things in the first place which gave them the perfect opportunity to push through legislation like this.

Thats the sole reason why such laws should never be allowed to be formed.
Man, the admins are watching this thread like vultures on a dying animal.
This better be fought or else all I see is a depressing future where you always know that SOMEBODY is knowing what kind of porn you are watching or what kind of people you talk to.
uugh I hate copyright infringement flaming the internet crap.
People can cite "Fair use!" all they want. The fact is that ACTA is a treaty.

Google already knows what porn you watch, and what people you talk to.
I do have to say I have downloaded a couple illegal musics, nothing more than 10 dollars, but then deleted them off my computer and bought them, feeling bad for the people who made those songs.
So yeah. I guess this won't affect me.

I guess I caused this partially... I did buy it after I deleted it off my computer, that must count for something?
I guess not...
The Supreme Court better slap this shit down on the grounds of it violating 1st ammendment rights.
Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately owned and operated for profit; decisions regarding supply, demand, price, distribution, and investments are not made by the government; Profit is distributed to owners who invest in businesses, and wages are paid to workers employed by businesses.
Come on America!
This just totally gives me more reason to move to the UK after college.
This is the only time I've ever not wanted to live in Canada.

This thread is so full of baseless paranoia it's sad. Stopping the illegal copy and distribution of intellectual property != mind probes, mandatory indie musician execution, etc. Stop being silly.

Had you, you'd know how to grow orange trees. Hope I helped.
[QUOTE=ShnitzelKiller;24418822]Yea, and people on internet forums like this one are always blabbering and bragging about how they pirate music and games because the developers don't deserve the money or because these things are too expensive. Neither matters, because by pirating and not shutting up about it, you cause the government to come up with shit like this.[/QUOTE]
What the hell are you talking about
Talking about or not, it would still get counter measures
[QUOTE=Rubs10;24417576]I personally wouldn't give a fuck if an officer did that. I've got nothing to hide. I see nothing wrong with it at all.
Maybe he finds something that, while odd, isn't illegal. Why would I care? It's not like I'll ever see him again.
Only things that would irk me is if he got the carpet dirty or if he did it like every week, cause that would be a waste of my time.[/QUOTE]
You don't care about your rights being violated? :raise: You are a strange individual.

yesss finally someone is taking this stance. I've noticed how most people in this thread are basically butthurt that it means no piracy anymore, and trying to say it's a bad idea because of [i]privacy.[/i] Paying for stuff is an abstract thought, I know, but it's also the right thing to do :x

Well yeah, if you are gonna buy music, use a site like Amazon that sells you MP3s or FLAC, not DRMed AAC. iTunes is definitely the worst place to buy music.

I know how you feel man, I'm trying to finish dling this boat and no one is seeding.
Where are they going to the resources to investigate shit like that? It better not be tax money.
And....it's not going to do anything significant to the problem of piracy. It'll just irritate the pirates a bit.
[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;24409890]isn't it illegal to look at what someone is dong on the internet by spying on them!?
