For a bunch of old outdated B rated films? No thanks!

Comcast revealed today how it will deal with customers who receive multiple warnings under the newly launched “six-strikes” anti-piracy system. After four alerts the ISP will “hijack” web-browsers of suspected serial pirates with a persistent pop-up notification, making it impossible to browse the Internet. The pop-up will disappear after the customer “resolves the issue” with a Customer Security Assurance professional.

That's a whole different scenario. Everybody would have everything they ever desired...profit would mean nothing. People would create for the sake of creating without having to worry about starving...but someone would "copy" a nuclear bomb

How would you prevent a device from creating plutonium in this instance? Sony thought they could prevent BluRay encryption from being cracked, and we all know how that panned out for them don't we. You think you are smart, but there is always someone smarter. I can churn out BluRay discs all day long. Once its in the public domain, that's it. Game over.

See, you avoided the question, but I knew you would. I've had this discussion a few times and it's predictable...on both sides.

Now I reply something like: "I've returned a few software packs for a full refund, no problem. Besides what ever happened to 'buyer beware' and doing your research before you purchase? Goods for sale have be promising things they don't deliver since before snake oil! Be a responsible consumer, a fool and his money is soon parted."

Then you reply something like: "The corporations take all of the money anyway. The artist always gets the shaft so now we can stick it to the man!"

And I: "Well, why don't you go and steal from a store then? I'll tell you why - because it's not easy to dismiss or convince yourself that there's nothing wrong with it."

You: "But I'm not depriving them of anything, it's all just ones and zeros. Information should flow freely, man!"

Me: "blah, blah, blah..."

You: "counter blah, blah, blah..."

I'm going to lunch

How does 'not being foolish with your money' and 'stealing' equal the same thing to you?
