1. It's not merely the "ability to share ripped DVDs". It's also the ability to have a little privacy, the ability to watch my DVD's on a player/device of my choosing, and probably a few other things I've forgotten.
1. No it wouldn't be a shame. The US is chock-full of rubes waiting to separated from their money, and as long as we have any money left, no growing economy like the ones in Asia are going to leave so many customers on the table.

No, it's a shitty deal that we'd be fools to accept.
- speeder 12y agoOnly me think of how weird it is that US "the land of the free" is a country that loves to trade freedom for money and security? The only thing that separates US from some "non-free" countries is that in those countries the freedom was traded for internal stability (ie: politicians took freedoms to ensure they can stay in power and steal all that they want, to the population this mean no civil war or revolutions, at least for a while).
