The fact is there will always be a way to work around copy-protection always
There will always be talented geeks using there knowledge to get something free and i don`t know if you know,but there is a big thrill in cyberstealing,the harder the greater the thrill
As for me and others like me,whenever i steal something copy-righted i am glad that i do what i can to wreck the western economy.
The only way to fight piracy is if all countrieys would be developped and thus would pass laws against this and really control it.
the fact is Thailand brazil and other nations have no reasen to protect copyrights,because if their economy uses pirated software it only has a bad effect on the US and other developped nations and it would cost the company`s more money to buy original software.
Just take my country(Suriname) for an example.
I can just mass produce pirated software and no law could stop me.Everyday we see commercials for pirated software and the pirated versions are available months before original and nowadays you have to search high and low for original software,since nobody buy`s it.
Even hardware stolen in the US can be bought here in the slums with no risk.
Although Impossible,if it would happen(who knows,what if God wanted to play a game of survival with us;-)
Well i think we would not recover within 30 years,especially developped countries would get hit big.
Why?We don`t have enough IT personnel at the moment and the fact is (roughly estimated) 80% of these IT`ers we have now is not inventive.They go to school learn how to work the exsisting software,they aren`t die hard computerfreaks and if these were the DOS days they wouldn`t study IT,they are in it mostly for the high pay.The people that would have to build everything up are people like us(I assume you guys are like me and don`t need all these flashy,colorful things like windows to be exited about computers and would be just happy working all day with DOS or something else in black and white).
Some countries like India and China on the other hand would be happy if such a thing happens as they have alot of IT`ers,most of them very inventive(It`s just a fact,because IT salarys aren`t very high there and if you want a high pay you become a docter in India or you fled to South korea or Taiwan in China)
Geeks would rule the world,why?
Now big business men rule the world,because people need money.
If computers would fail people(addicted to computers) and big Business men(unable to run their big companies withput computers)_
would be so desperate to get computers back,that money wouldn`t be a problem.The geek community could ask how much money they wanted to recreate computers and society would thus be controlled by the geeks.
You see all people wouldbe in deep s**t if computers would vanish,but geeks could do something about it,while others would have to wait and hope the geeks quikly fix things.
Another thing i too live in a third world country.
My country(Surinam) wouldn`t be effected by such a thing,only a small group of people.
Although the trade with foreign countries would be killed as the rich countries wouldn`t buy anything from us(because they wouldn`t have money),our self providing economy would provide our country.The people in the rainforest and in the isolated areas of my country wouldn`t even notice a thing.And we city people would quickly rebuild as we aren`t very dependant of computers.It would be very positive for my country,because we then get a fair chance at building our economy.
Now we are being held back by isolationism of the rich countrys and all their restrictions against our goods,but if they would be in such a disaster then they wouldn`t have enough economic power to hold us back.
That is why I and others like me love to create virusses,pirate software and attack servers of big companies,just to cause as much damage as possible to the western economy,because we really hate the west for all the bad things they have done and still do to us.
It is why i am glad with california`s energy crisis,that quake in seattle and mad cow disease in europe.And you might not realize it but there is alot of poverty and other problems in latin america,africa and asia and it`s all your fault and one day it will catch up with you and you will get it hard.
Like the saying says `what goes around comes around`.
