To be honest, $1 for a single song on iTunes is quite expensive, especially considering the abysmal quality of music nowadays. I mean, I'd gladly pay $3 for Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody because it's arguably the best pop song ever written but you'd have to pay me to listen to Kings of Leon. I'm also one of the few people who still buys physical copies of albums. | ||

I personally think that this is a fight only the pirates can win, since there will always be countries where they can host servers without getting in troubles with any laws and in some years the generation, that actually has experience with filesharing websites will run the world. So finally copyright on whatever can be digitized in general will be a thing of the past in two or three decades. I hope you heard it here first;) | ||

Nobody can touch the US in a military term, but it's quite possible for main infrastructures and communication. Frankly, the US should be way more scared of a bunch of ugly nerds than ten thousand Al Qaeda members, I know the movie Die Hard 4 isnt good, but thing is, it is possible that something like that actually happens, not at such a huge scale, not on all of the US, but you attack electricity and all comunications of even one state, you'll see that it is way more dangerous than 3 fanatics in a plane. So yeah, if the US insist on pissing off most internet users including hackers, who knows, I wonder if anonymous will actually attack facebook, twitter, and some banks like they said they would, I forgot when it's supposed to hit. | ||

So much moral highgrounding but when it comes down to it people just want to keep their free lunch. oook..? | ||

On a YT video There is 1 poster, named mandrei99, who said this: In dec 2004, a romanian musician Teo Peter was killed by a US soldier on romanian soil (driving under alcohol). That soldier went back to US without problems and didn't see the inside of a jail cell not even for 1 minute: see wikipedia " TEO PETER" Why US soldiers don't do prison for killing people while driving drunk and we, normal idiots, go to prison just for downloading some movie/song ? | ||

I hope you heard it here first;) Thing is, they can host their servers on planet Mars, but you will still be accountable in your country for downloading something illegaly. your ISPs can easily get all the information about what you've downloaded and if this is just a start, what if they pass laws that ISPs will have to report that information to authorities? EU is also pretty rigid about copyright infrigment so people shouldn't be so neutral while looking what's happening in USA etc | ||
