Gorth Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 So are you saying you're actually for freedom of speech? Reread what you wrote. It didn't make any sense "i want freedom of speech and total anonymity, then everyone will be held accountable", I just assumed you meant "i DONT want freedom of speech", because how the **** are you gonna hold everyone accountable if you don't know who they are.... ah never mind. I know you hate expression of opinions that don't coincide with yours. Seriously, Muslim Brotherhood is recruiting. And you love fancy quotes. You're the perfect candidate. For the reading impaired... In an ideal world, you would have an internet that didn't get monitored by authorities constantly and where there was no anonymity whatsoever. Then people would always have to face up to their actions. But you are probably more concerned about the chip on your shoulder getting stained “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmp10 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 The whole 'internet is being oppressed' angle is slowly moving towards absurdity. Internet has simply outgrown the whole wild-west stage and it will get regulated. If pirates were capable of some forward thinking they would push for light regulation themselves. This way they may delay things but when they'll finally happen they will hit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Well, just that unlike games or movies, not every book gets pirated. Heh, I'll have to ask my friend about his reaction if his game gets cracked. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the vast majority of stuff floating around (to put it nicely) on the internet is "easy" entertainment. Maybe people who read Tolstoy are more likely to buy the book than people who watch Indepence Day are likely to buy the dvd? 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Malcador Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yep, been too long since I checked. Doesn't matter if people who like readin Tolstoy are more pure or whatever, I think, high profile name so they'll put it out there. From what it seems though, good bit of Kindle files up, so who knows maybe they've just started grabbing anything and everything Why has elegance found so little following?

Hey, well, in that case, how about you stand by your principles and give me your name, address and home number? That is if you want to face up to your actions like you say you do.

mkreku Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I love how the strawman defence immediately comes into play in a thread like this.. so old. Can't you please find some other internet meme to abuse incessantly now? Please? It's also the perfect head-in-the-sand strategy. "So what if they're censoring one site, it's not like they're gonna censor any more! And anyone claiming it will be like China is building a strawman! Strawman strawman strawman blah blah herp derp blah" I'm against piracy, I really am. But letting someone else control which sites you can or can not visit on the internet.. that's a really dangerous slippery slope. 2 Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

What third party? The imaginary harassment agency? Listen, don't be so scared. I'll only **** with you a little, you'll still be able to find a job, cause not all employers google you. And your wife won't leave you, probably. Jesus Christ, what a chicken**** you are. Bweh, disgusting. Alright, hide your head in the sand like a crybaby and keep trying to look tough by telling everyone that anonymity is bad. The truth is, with your ***** character, anonymity has probably saved you more times than you can imagine. Edited May 2, 2012 by Delfosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoraptor Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 TPB has never once in its history attempted to remove copyrighted content. half hearted attempts were made by both Mininova and ISOhunt and others concerned with their long term survival. People go there to get illegal ****, and maybe they check out whatever band is being promoted as well. Lets call a spade a spade people. Since we're calling spades spades... TPB does not have any copyrighted content to remove as they don't host anything bar the torrent information. As such people cannot go there to get illegal asterisks, they can only go there to obtain directions to get (potentially) illegal asterisks. That's why they're still in business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just got tired of the semantics game and decided that "intent" sometimes counts too? In some parts of the world, you can get busted for knowingly assisting with illegal activity.

It is good thing to remember that not all TPB's directions lead to illegal asterisks, which might make banning the whole site illegal in itself.

Do you mean that if therapist freelance the entire parlor gets shut down? Or a you talking about happy endings? If the therapist conducts their freelance work at the parlor, then the parlor may be shut down. It usually requires a few warnings and investigations first to see if the owners are actively trying to prevent the illegal activity. What I'm saying here is TPB is not actively trying to prevent any illegal activity at their site, and so they can be held responsible. My analogy breaks down a bit because you can't get a happy ending over the internet...yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
