Yeah I definitely agree with
Yeah I definitely agree with you. Key to understanding that issue, Nice post. I learned a lot.
Music Labels Need To Catch Up With The Times
As you said, people who download music tend to buy more music. The music labels need to catch up with the times and stop trying to put a noose around the internet. They need to utilize the web for creative marketing and to open up further streams of revenue.
I hate seeing videos on YouTube with their embedding disabled, or songs on imeem that only allow snippets. This is a way for people to learn about your artists music, don't cut it off!
RIAA has a good goal, to promote music and to prevent the theft of it. However, their actions tarnish their goal.

tiffanys
If you want to have them in the tiffany colour design but, If you do not want to add anything to your dress Then to stopoff the theme of the wedding the cake layers will be used for your thank you cards as well. For example when choosing your flowers it is kind to get some wretched colors in your decorations, but you should harvester this with other colours that keep the legendary jewellery gather that go with the cerulean theme such as the bride, can have the colours of tiffany in your plants or a light pale unhappy colour theme.
Surely the whole point
Surely the whole point though, is that if people did not spend their time ripping off each others software, copy etc etc, in the first place, there would be nothing for the copyright lawyers to do.
Much as I don't like lawyers in the first place, they will always appear if any person or industry gives them the opportunity.
Nothing wrong with the ATOM.
Nothing wrong with the ATOM. Keen observers know exactly what the Pirate Bay was doing and your determined spin won't change any of that.
Mike Under scrutiny!
hoh boy, that last comment was extremely well written and very specific. Ill think twice before putting myself under the bus.
Nothing wrong with the ATOM
You are very right in lots of ways, Jason, and I agree with you more than I disagree. I always tell friends of mine, though, that there's nothing wrong with the Internet, just in it's use and misuse, checking and no checking. This resembles what someone once said - there's nothing wrong with the ATOM(mic bomb?)... only men's hearts!
Wow what a tool the previous
Wow what a tool the previous commenter was. Yes your right lets just do away with those silly privacy laws and let the government monitor, and control every facet of our lives. That ended up working out really well for the citizens for authoritarian countries like the USSR, Nazi Germany, and North Korea.
Mike, you either missed or
Mike, you either missed or ignored my point entirely. I'm very much in favor of retaining our privacy and freedoms and I've said nothing to indicate otherwise. The majority of folks online are not the lawbreakers, that's confined to a relative few who are presently spoiling things for everyone. For the moment, we are largely paused, weighing what path to take forward.
My point is that no government, at least not historically, turns away from anarchy and lawbroken chaos so that it becomes the status quo in a given geographic area or region, and to my knowledge no one has ever offered a rational reasoning of why the network will or should be any different. When internet freedom is curtailed and everything we do is on full display for surveillance by law enforcement, we'll have internet pirates to thank.
Or perhaps you can build a case why healthcare and financial data, copyrighted material, webpages and so on should be allowed to be ransacked, defaced or hacked with no oversight, rendering the network largely useless for anything requiring some degree of security. I've no doubt some twisted mindset would love to see this become the norm. I also have little doubt that the majority of internet users and the governments that represent them will have different priorities.
Time will tell
Jason, the moment you suggested that TPB was running "a service essentially the same as Google’s", you lost all credibility as a reliable observer and traded any cred you may have had for a few high fives from the fanbois. That notion has been debunked and set aside so many times on so many websites that a willful ignorance of it at this point in the debate is just that. Willful ignorance.
The greater issue has always been the remarkable degree of online criminal activity of all sorts, given the anonymity originally entrusted to the general population by governments around the world. That may be coming to a close.
Now that humankind has shown that our precious privacy laws are apparently viewed as something to hide behind while doing an astonishing degree of harm of all sorts, the real question is whether the people actually want an unreliable anarchy on the network that renders webpages routinely hackable, private health and financial information inherently insecure, communication no longer reliable and everything digital inherently for stealing.
History tells us that they do not, but we shall see. Keen observers know exactly what the Pirate Bay was doing and your determined spin won't change any of that. Time will tell if this miraculous network will gather organization and credible reliability, or be left to the anarchists, the destructive trespassers and those, like yourself, who would glorify them.
