Correction: we should never get used to it.. what they are doing is wrong.. the transport have nothing to do with the thing being transported.. is like to destroying a road just because some truck with drugs was found using the road.. despite the road can be use to transport families in vacations.. can be, and was created with good uses in mind
Its a complete non-sense
And its only "usual", because governments are in bed with corporations.. we should never get used to this sort of situation.. it hurts our civil liberties foundations to the core.. just because some greed people want to burn the world to get the last drop of profits
If they want to fight the free distribution of the material they create.. fine.. we cant argue against that.. the law should protect their interests (puting somebody in prison for it.. definetely not)
But destroy projects that can serve for a lot of good purposes(education, indie movies, a decentralized youtube), its just madness to let them do this, and just "get used to it"
Edit: This is one of those times that you understand that governements dont work for their people best interests, but for the corporations best interest against the greater good.. this goes against all the reasons democratic institutions were created for
- res0nat0r 12y ago> it hurts our civil liberties foundations to the core.. just because some greed people want to burn the world to get the last drop of profits This rhetoric is a bit silly. Companies spending hundreds of millions of dollars making a movie, and wanting to protect their investment by not allowing free copies on the internet is not "greedy people wanting to burn the world."
- oscargrouch 12y agoThen its just a matter to fight the movies being distributed.. not a generic p2p software that can serve to transmit videos.. You can use a knife to make food, or to kill somebody.. its the same as forbidden knifes because somebody use it with bad intentions.. Its just fight the pirated movies to be copied for free.. not the tool.. thats my main argument Im not against their rights.. im against that they have rights to take my rights
