This is the most salient explanation that I have seen on HN, although some points need rebutting. For instance >If the effort it takes to secure a number of the size required to represent a 3 minute song becomes a burden on society, the

Thanks for your thoughtful responses. I in no way meant to put words in the original commenters mouth and truly want to know why being a developer means you are very concernered about a bill that protects intellectual property. Anyone can b

I wish you were right, but pg has clearly stated anything copyable deserves no copyright.

Although I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment about 1st world problems, can you expand on why as a developer you are in favor of more piracy? I feel the big guys will always be able to protect themselves and it is the little guys who

I guess someone will have to follow up and see if he does jail time. He might if he is on probation for car theft, otherwise it seems unlikely.

Curiosity. The first one is obvious as to what it is, a racing game, with the second one you can't tell what it is, so people clik thru to find out. Improve your CTR with obfuscation. Probably won't help with coversions though.

I see. Well $70 isn't irrelevant for everyone so I am glad they have the free trial. Good luck on your apps!

No politician in the US would even dare suggest this never mind try to get it passed as law. I really don't understand the politics. What constituency supports this?

Well I won't be pigheaded. I too would pay triple for everything to be on Netflix and don't buy DVDs. If you can buy it but choose to get it free that's your call, it's when you can't buy it anywhere that copyright really fails.

Whether you like or not copyright law still exists. It has been dismissed on message boards but has not been repealed. When there is a viable mechanism of content creation it will gradually take over, just like every industry. You can't tel

Sorry to anyone offended by pimply , but this idea that anything copyable deserves no copyright is childish. Exceedingly so on a site about software.

>they recognize the cost of reproduction is zero. That is being very generous to the pimply-faced downloaders. I am quite sure the costs upfront or otherwise have no bearing.

Cognitive dissonance. If you really think this justifies copyright violation of software and films you need to grow up.
