After about 15 years of ever-decreasing sales in music, movies and books, and the disappearance of so many stores that provided this entertainment, it seems pretty obvious that the shit-brains with the funny names (Seniormole, Mephisto, Jiltz etc.) were wrong. They insisted "sharing" was good....because they were not, are not, and could never be in the businesses they STOLE FROM. They were brats and hypocrites who conspired to defraud because they were overwhelmed by their own greed and egotism. They shouted down anyone who threatened their new-found power, as if they were on the same level as radio disc jockeys or music journalists. "Hey, I give away music and get "Nice" comments...you shut up! Or I'll tell everyone what your name is where you live and get you harassed or even beaten up!"
And so it is, that the UK, taking time from reconsidering the joys of fox hunting, may go schmuck hunting:
So, "copyright holders...have lobbied extensively." Nice to know. That would probably be lawyers for the major companies who used to push everyone around. The ones who have seen their power, their two hour lunches, and their huge salaries falter even worse than the artists and ordinary office workers they employ.
After all, look at who has been taking over TV networks, book companies, record labels and the rest: big corporations who either run dot coms, or who sell Internet services or make computers or other devices that are destroying the world.
Hell, maybe the RIAA hasn't been able to put in new shag carpeting this year, or allowed their execs to take those mammoth "working vacations" attending music conventions in Vegas, L.A. and New York.
Perhaps even Web Sheriff and Grayzone have complained at the huge amount of DMCA's they've had to send in via bots, only to have their noses tweaked by British brats wearing those faggoty Fawkes masks, saying "we'll keep uploading till you have heart attacks and die. Ha ha."
The good news is that the average Seniormole who just shrugs, sips wine, and says "this is a kerfuffle," will not be hauled off to jail. Like johns who go to prostitutes, the downloaders will be safe. "How did WE know this was illegal, just because we left comments like "don't let the bastards win," and "we love you Hans," and "hey Zinfart, I don't want to buy the new Neil Young, when are you going to steal it from a torrent and re-up with your password name on it?"
The bad news is there will be plenty of "debate" on this, and the wheels of justice move slow enough and are so myopic that you can bet there will still be no place to report egregious offenders and no action taken until a huge number of complaints have come in.
