He never said it was unethical.
He said that doing illegal things with these torrents will only give the corporations/ones in power more leeway into getting politicians to pass laws that require DRM, violate our privacy, etc.
- Nursie 13y agoNo he said it would weaken the case, I was wondering how. If piracy stops people will say DRM works and they need more powers to really cement it in place. If piracy continues then people will say they need more DRM to stop it. I cannot see how the existence of this site (or other torrent services) weakens the case against DRM.
- aragot 13y agoIf there is piracy, more laws will be passed, possibly ending up axing every category of Internet usage.
- tomp 13y agoBut that is making the case against such laws stronger!
- Nursie 13y agoBut that's nothing to do with making any case, simply practical consequences. Much like the drug war, DRM and its legal environment are basically self perpetuating now. I don't see.how continuing piracy has any impact at all.
