Well making guns illegal was always going to be about as effective as making meth illegal. And with the same side effects, like making black market sociopaths, like Lee, rich and powerful.
- bediger4000 11y agoI'm not trying to be obstinate, but does that argument apply to anything, or just to attractive things, like drugs and guns? Or are there just certain arbitrary things, that we find out by experience, that are subject to that "making X illegal only causes a black market" logic? I'm asking because I'd like to have an easy-to-use argument to trot out for things like making copyright stricter, or other things that hinder my ease of use.
- merpnderp 11y agoIs there a market that isn't being met with current copyright law? Because it seems to follow something like "People want X. If you make X illegal, people will still want X, only now it will be supplied by criminals."
