The flip side to this, and I am not saying I agree, is that without some sort of restriction anyone can pirate almost anything.  We know it happens and what does it mean to the rest of us? If other nations respected priacy laws, this crap would not be needed, but they don't so we are in a bind.  We are damned if don't do anything either.

hey Sharky hope you don't mind , I posted you links on my FB page.
   I am so tired of the gov selling us one thing and hiding a bunch of crap hidden in the middle of it, then telling us that it's good for us.

Yeah but they're using the legislation to target us.....not other countries.  If other countries don't care about current piracy laws, how likely are they to comply with new laws about their already illegal piracy?
