This is quite amusing considering it's just a video game. I don't agree with the approach of facist censorship. It just makes the subject even more 'bad-ass' and 'taboo'. So when kids do get to drink beer they will probably do it behind their parents back or on the street!
Besides isn't drinking excess amounts of water in a short space of time also dangerous?:)
Filesharing has always existed whether it be in a digital form or physical form. In the 70s im sure people lent each other vinyls of their favourite bands. It was strictly illegal but it was overlooked because the police had bigger fish to fry.
The same applies to today, they only intend to crackdown on hardcore users who are making a business from copyrighted material. However I think because of digitalisation and lighting-fast internet speeds, downloading say a few gigs worth of songs has become the norm, which is too much in the eyes the big coporations. (however that could be justly argued.)
In simplified british terms, 'don't take the piss.'
I totally agree with McDowell. It should be the job of private ISP's to regulate user access to unsuitable content, not the taxpaying state.
Woo first post!
