It's funny how SOPA, ACTA, and Bill-C11 are so coordinated. It's almost like someone in the industry is pulling a lot of strings in the government.

I'm there are much better solutions out there, the gaming industry has always been quite good at this. Remember how we fixed pirating of games? By making levels non archievable if you are using a pirated version.

It's kind of sad if RIM has to depend on BBM as their last resort to keeping a competitive ground.
