Movie Industry to sue File Sharers
Wack Valenti writes "SiliconValley.com reports that the motion picture industry, taking a cue from the RIAA, is planning to file copyright infringement lawsuits against file sharers it says are illegally distributing movies online. The first suits could be filed as early as tomorrow."
Well you are a fucking idiot then.
"I won't pay for something I can steal"
Make that a fucking idiot and a thief.
OR the powers that be will see that pirates are completely unreasonable, seeing as they cannot distinguish between extremes. BTW, i don't think that pirating music is ethical either. YOU DO NOT DESERVE THE FRUIT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S LABOR. Pirating media is NOT civil disobedience. You are too cheap or too lazy or just apathetic to ethics. "Information deserves to be free" is a flimsy justification for benefitting from the fruit of another man's labor. You want to break the system, then refuse to participate. Don't buy the works, and don't consume them either. And participate in our government. people who disagree with the system should become consumer rights advocates. raise money, hire lobbyists, support candidates, make tv commercials. co-opt the current political parties. work the system. its all we've got. Nerds in their rooms using bit torrent will NOT bring the industry to its knees. It will just anger them, make them more strict and less likely to listen to reason.
