Sorry, but magazines like PC Mag, Ars Technica and many other websites which help and foster online piracy are a big part of the problem. You don't have them helping software piracy because that will hurt their advertising, but it is popular with their audience to steal music, movies and TV. So that is why they are doing it.
This is a big double standard, to help and foster creative piracy. Not even turning a blind eye, but to help and tell people how to pirate, also to literally support anti-copyright policies. Sorry, but this is a big part of the problem. Artists, filmmakers and more need their rights protected. not for people to be stealing more.
here you have people saying ridiculous things like "notorious intellectual monopolists"... what does that even mean or stand for? it is BS !!
Songwriters, artists, labels and more deserve to get paid for their hard work, same for movies, comics and other realms. For noob/idiots to simply say the business model of creating art or entertainment is broken, artists are getting "stolen" from and more is crazy, wrong and just a stupid justication for their stealing, breaking laws and hurting the people they like the creativity of.
Sorry, but website blocking, domain taking back and finding new ways of blocking p2p networks is sounding very appealing right around now. Very real people are getting hurt by IP theft.
