P2P File Sharing News Comments 2006-06-13
Abuse of power. Democracy and freedom is just a 20th century peak of a golden age of human civilization. The internet is its last major thread of freedom that only global disaster and the antichrist can break.

Nearly out of business. Saved and kept in business by greedy lawsuit lawyers drooling over the sweedish state for their 25-35% contingency cut.

P2P File Sharing is staying until the entire internet is globally nationalized and subsquently controlled, probably by the AntiChrist. Otherwise the death or near-death of P2P sites are nothing more than publicity garnishing matyres.

I don’t use YouTube or Google Video because I can’t download. I like
Completely agree. Filesharing hurts bootleggers/counterfeiters 3 times more than the corporate copyright holders and that the bootleggers/counterfeiters hurt sales 4 times worse than filesharers (lost sale average per pirated product offering per sale or download). Also private warez groups affect al-qeida terreros by out-hacking them to stolen corporate disk space and bandwidth.

A new kind of profiteering piracy. Korean P2P providers charge money for downloads without any royalties. A user paying for a pirated good or download is far less likely to buy a legit version than one who downloads it for free.

I think people should be educated on copyrights. Most are still outdated though, mostly involving plagarism and bootleg/counterfeiting (piracy for money). I think its ok for itellectual property to be in scouts, but it shouldn’t dominate. One-day lesson, backwater merit badge is fine. You can get merit badges for many unusual academic things. I don’t like that the RIAA/MPAA is at the helm at most of these copyright / intellectual properties education campaigns though. They emphasize hoarding, secrecy, power, control, and money money money. Copyleft gives freedom but protects against proprietarization (hoarding and secrecy for power, control, and profit), outright theft (claiming as own work), and plagarism.

Found a new link on the USA Pirate Party. Reposted all the pirate party links. I hope the content on the P2P networks can become at least 50% legal by more people copylefting instead of copyrighting before the antichrist comes and shuts out freedom alltogether (I would think it would be after ameteor or comet impact and/or eruption of yellowstone possibly as a chain-reaction from an impact or nuclear detonation or just on its own).
