i agree that once you open to door to universal internet regulation that there i an increased chance of abuse of these laws

so there must be a middle way....that we get to keep our freedom of communications.....and the artists get to keep their livelyhoods?

Is your sense of entitlement justified...........?

do you think that just because you have a computer....you deserve to have free unlimited access to the artistic toil of others?

The internet is basically a big library of information..
I can go down to my local real Library and take out books, movies,music cds,cassette tapes to listen to. Never have to pay a royalty fee or anything. Granted it may not be blockbuster new in theaters or on the charts. but it is relative..

It is not just the pirating part that I have trouble with.. It is the definition of it.. They are very brad in their descriptions.. I pay for internet and I must say it isn't cheap.. If it was about royalties then make it so.... Just like on TV or Radio.

If it was about this.. Then part of our fee's would cover it.(like cable or satellite radio) But it doesn't..

Also this is the first step.. Next sites like this and YouTube will have to remove 90% of their material even if it is for educational uses.. Almost everything posted on the web has some form of infringement rights issue.

The powers behind this are just to lazy to go after the suppliers of hacked media. It is easier to smack the viewer. Just like in the real world where the drug cartels flourish and the user sits in the PEN! Or it is easier for a cop to bust a guy on his way to work because he doesn't have both daytime running lights working rather than bust the drug pusher that is selling crack to the kids at the local grade school yard.. I just don't buy their line of shit. It is a power move and a lazy tactic to gain control. If were about money they would go for pay outs.. Plain and simple..

Change is coming through our ISP's having to watch all of us in fear for their own proprietary reasons and interests. This in my eyes is just the first step to what is coming down the pipe..

a flat media fee........i will be happy to pay

it makes sense

and not $1/song either

$50 a month....any and all media you want in hi-def........streamed...not files

or time sensitive self destructing files :flop:

i see where you dudes are going with this and i commend your efforts to educate us (this is a very prudent issue......but sawlty wouldnt be sawlty...if he didn't play the devils advocate)

who is going to start the drunk thread (it is friday :cheers:
