The point is both wars are unwinnable. People are going to infringe copyright and buy drugs even if if it's against the law.

- DanBC 15y agoYes, that's true. And a pragmatic approach to piracy would probably benefit content producers / distributors. But that's a lousy point to hang an analogy off. Hyperbole is preaching to the converted; it's not going to convince anyone else. There are important points to be made about civil liberties and tying piracy to drugs is means those points are harder to make. (And I'm someone who doesn't use drugs, but would legalise almost all of them.)
