There are millions of Tivo's and the like out there right now and even more vcr's. How in gods name are they going to catch and prosecute people skipping commercials. It's impossible and this is a waste of taxpayers money.
I'm glad Canada hasn't started down this road yet.
If you steal a car you have the potential to mow down hundreds of people.
"potential" be damned, you can't attach penalties for "potential" and regardless of where you got the media it can be spread, why isn't the kid who shoplifts a cd charged with a felony if he has a computer? He has the potential to rip it and distribute it.
Just buy it, and don't even unpackage the bloody thing, download the working game and play that.
I am notoriously bad with cd's and break/scratch them all the time. Before clonecd and daemon tools I was screwed and now that there is a nice convenient way to play their games without having to go fishing for the cd they fuck us, the paying customer, over with outrageous copy protection.
except you analogy is full of shit because you are removing my property from me for a period of time, keep trying though and don't mind the RIAA cock in your ass.

So why do we need a blanket law to punish everyone? Do you think this will stop the modding scene in an way, even the slightest bit?
Now ordinary people who want to watch their import dvd's or play import games are screwed over and the bastards playing the illegal stuff will still be able to aquire the chips.
Boy that sounds like an awesome job! where can I sign up?!
Theres only so many opportunities to be stripped of any personality and see the exact same thing for a few hundred days a year for several hours a day.
If I want to change my background or take a small break and check out the news which makes me happy and less stressed then I should be able to.

I'll have some of that crackpipe please.
because they are all close to the good shit as well.

Can go fuck themselves. If they want their media sold instead of downloaded on the internet they will do what apple tells them to do.
On 100 million people? It's unenforceable.

a huge "paper" full of anything besides pr0n isn't going to be fun.

If some Linux program could work with MS drm against MS's will every last person here would have it and be ragging on MS about how bad they are.

The sempron is just a fancy new duron with a new name. It's cheap as hell already and not really a powerhouse processor.
