Poll is just out of curiosity =]

I can't really put stock in anything in that article since it's obviously written by some online pirate enthusiast or something. Things like "unintelligent plurilateral trade agreement" and "including perfunctory disclosure of fucktard customer information" has me skratching my head.

They'll never get ahead of file-sharing. There will always be a way to distribute copyrighted properties over the internet, whether the fucktards like it or not. Sure, maybe they'll devise a way to stem the tide for a while, forcing pirates to become more circumspect. But shit, if I wanted to, I could still fuck with usenet and get most of what I want, albeit with a less-desirable interface and greater chance of mislabeled files.

My folks actually showed me a picture of me with a cockroack in my mouth as a little kid...guess they were having too much fun laughing at me and couldn't be bothered to stop me from eating it :p

But yeah, I'm a pirate and that's concerning.

So last night I was walking downtown for some pizza at like 1am with some friends of mine,
and someone said, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole pizza."

I said, "I bet I could eat 100 pizzas," and no one understood me. I was sad.

When you have ISP's being forced to cooperate, that's when you're supposed to shit your pants. :shocked:

It seems awfully difficult to believe. I imagine it would be a huge endeavor and require countless hours of manpower to enforce properly.

And many complaints and much, much lower portable media player sales.

I mean...apart from "self-recorded/Self-made music" (which you'd have to admit, is shit ;[ ), what else to put on a flashy ipod? 1950's tunes?
