The cretins are stealing our property in broad daylight. The Boston Strangler of home taping has returned. An erroneous court made the Betamax decision, and respect for copyright has hit an all new low.
This is why I have proposed to our representative in Congress, Mr. Berman and Mr. Hollings, that copyright violations be made punishable by death.
A new force will be recruited from among our friends at BayTSP, MediaDefender, and our more clandestine operatives to man squads carrying automatic weapons. These will be authorized by Congress to carry out summary executions against those sharing our property via P2P networks.
Perhaps this will engender the respect our copyrights deserve.
Given Microsoft's tendency to explicitly block "alternative" web browsers from its web based services (e.g. Hotmail, Windows Update), I would see it as mere continuation of that behavior to block non Pd-enabled machines from future services.

Yeah. And I'm an advocate of free movies and open source.
Hilary and I intend to run these against every machine in the world, ferreting out and destroying those eeeevil P2P pirates!
The movies did not suck! It was the thieving pirates that made the sales figures so low, I tell you!
They also forgot to mention the spinectomy that typically is performed at the same time.

I agree! The Father^W Homeland's security depends upon people like you!
Screw that AC stuff. Just create accounts and post at 1. It's not like they cost anything, unlike my movies.
Now Fritz and I can get them to working on that analog hole.
