Most technologically minded people think this way. But, what about the average Joe who doesn't know the difference between a CPU and a hard drive that buys into the propaganda that the new-fangled processor X plays music better (reduced quality) and provides an interactive music experience (DRM). And of course they'd just keep buying...
The rules of the roads (in America at least) are in place to protect the "normal" from the stupid. The stupid on the roads are the ones who think driving 120 MPH on a two lane mountain road is an expedient way to navigate a county.
Thus, why not have rules to protect the "normal" Internet user from the spam and malware being spewed by stupid Internet users? Yes, "normal" users will probably be using anti-virus and spam-blockers. But the "normal" Internet users will still be suffering from possible subnet blacklisting due to zombies to the extra taxing of bandwidth and processing power on your ISP's infrastructure.
Too difficult? From the normal user's view its much easier than Linux's su and sudo. But your point is still valid, and sudoing to an admin is only needed for tasks that truly are administrative tasks 98% of the time.

If one reads their site information page they will find that Snopes claims that they intend to handle any claims of such ads.
We do our best to ensure the advertisements we carry on our site are as inoffensive as possible, and we try to filter out ads that flash bright colors, play (non-user-initiated) sounds, spawn multiple windows, automatically trigger downloads, install malware, or misleadingly claim readers have won contests or have been awarded free merchandise. Unfortunately, with several hundred different advertisers rotating through our site on a daily basis, we don't have the chance to preview and continually check every advertisement appearing on our site, so sometimes we're not aware we're carrying an objectionable ad until a reader points it out to us.
If that were done, all DIY/open source programming would be dead as the only people who would be able to afford the liability risks would be the big companies like Microsoft. I know I'd certainly stop releasing my FOSS software if I couldn't claim "No liability".
Your nutrients are derived
From those so kin to me
Yesterday, Mus musculus frolicked by you
Today, the sweet smell of you absorbing his tiny brain
Your large pitcher, an inviting opening
But oh, the Musmanity!
For it is full of your digestive fluids
But wait, rain approaches
Your operculum must spring forth, like an umbrella
But all is fell, your pseudo-stomach is full
Enjoy the rain, my sweet
For one can only hope, you avoid your own pitfall.
...how long is going to take them to realize that it is they that must change in order to regain a semblance of a thriving market?
<obfuscate>Besides, Student X, working to obtain Y Education at Z University loses their 50% of the value of their education because the college they were attending can no longer afford to pay Professor A due to piracy by Student B. Thus, Student X, 2 and a half years later, resorts to piracy due his relative impoverishment as he can now not hold a good job due to his utter lack of knowledge which he would have obtained via Professor A.</obfuscate>
Good point, but look at the speakeasy era; many went to speakeasies and the cops kept trying to stop them. But, your counterexample is also very prevalent today.
Well according to Google I'm either a Irish pop singer, a Jesuit priest in China, or a video game hacker. However, searching for one of my username's seems to provide numerous true hits.
The point is they were previously getting free bandwidth to download OO.org. But now, after the ISP released a competing version, they're not providing free bandwidth to download OO.org.
But the ascribed situation involves a physically stolen work, not a pirated copy. It was a wordplay on the summary say the proposed penalty would apply to stolen works.
Gmail freaking rocks. It must be a matter of luck. I get tons of Chinese and Japanese spam (not to mention English) and it all goes to my spam folder (around 50 a day total, as my address is plastered around the web). Actually, I have NEVER (seriously) gotten spam in my inbox with Gmail. However, I have had a few legitimate emails filtered into my spam folder.
