    I would be surprised if there were actually many accused that were innocent. Do you think the religious married man with four children will readily admit that he downloaded "boy backblasters II - night of exploding dicks"? Sure there will be mistakes like when it's the wife that secretly likes to watch grown men wrestle and while it may legally be a problem in proving a certain person did it statistically those cases aren't relevant.

    And "these days"? Read some history, today is much better in general. Of course one individual can get in contact with millions easily due to the internet so there's that.

    "Paul Hansmeier selected the pornographic movies for his brother to upload ..."
    So the the person that ordered the upload was the copyright owner, the upload was intentional. If someone stands in the street with a stack of books they wrote themselves and gives one to everyone that asks there is no crime. If the author instead instructed someone else to distribute books in the same manner there would still not be any crime.

    Of course the people downloading the crap wouldn't be aware of that.

    But that's false you double idiot. People in China is allowed to earn money by working for companies, they are allowed to start companies producing and selling goods and services to others. They aren't owned by the government.

    Representative democracy is not that every representative works for the idea the majority voted for, it's that representatives work for the things _they_ were voted in for. It's an inefficient and fuzzy system. You are wishing for tyranny of the majority and not a functional democracy.

    The system for disabling the system is relatively complex especially in a scenario when both pilots use all their strength to keep the plane level. Also it's my understanding that pilots weren't trained in doing this or even informed about the existence of the system, could be wrong.

    Many illnesses have both a physical and psychical part. Mental illnesses are mostly based on physical malfunctions. Psychosomatic symptoms are real symptoms (people can die from them). The interaction between physical and psychical processes are complex and more complexities are discovered the more humans (and other animals) are studied. There is essentially no sharp border between mind and body, the mind is part of the body and the mind controls the body (and vice versa).

    Treatments targeting psychical well-being for known physical illnesses (with known physical cause) is used today. That doesn't say the patients are crazy, just that doing this have been shown to improve the well-being of patients and so improving their quality of life. Longtime and debilitating problems tend to cause mental problems like depression which can in turn cause the physical problems to get worse indirectly or (yes) through psychosomatic effects.

    This isn't about stigmatizing someone - it's about doing actual research and finding solutions to a problem. This is about people don't liking some of the results and harassing the researchers. This is about people not liking science, of people actually by their own will choosing to act crazy and should be treated as crazies.

    So you have two points, two problems of practicality and an unbased opinion. We already are using several techniques that when first dreamed up were beyond science fiction so the practicality problems can probably be solved. You should also look into the meaning of science, it's not about delivering working solutions at once and it needn't even be about something useful for human beings.
