A better thread than my own on the subject

The only people who support this are the misinformed or the greedy and powerful. Period.

So, so narrow minded.

You have to be narrow-minded if you want to preserve equality. It is the broad-minded that compromise our way into slavery.

ugh, this is targeted at creating a way to enforce existing laws that are being blatantly broken via the internet. the laws are there for a reason -- i work in the software industry -- i make a wage -- and my job entirely depends on my company's ability to sell that software.  and a big fuck you to anyone out there that thinks my work ought to be freely availible on the internet just because you pulled out a dictionary and think copying doesn't fit precisly into the word stealing. 

laws need to be able to be enforced.  as is the internet is lawless and that is a problem.  i'm not 100% sure this is the absoulte best solution but if you've got a better way to enforce the law please tell me.

so sorry for being so damn greedy that i think the hours i spend at work ought to grant me a living wage...

I posted a reply in the other thread. The general idea is that the level of piracy, on its own in a vacuum, is not going to impact your amount of revenue, and therefore not going to effect your job. The consensus is that piracy does little to cannibalize software sales on the whole, so you would fall on the "misinformed" side of the line if you think the law would do anything to help you
