Nope. All you're doing is preaching, and you're turning away people on the margins to the darknets.
The answer is quite simple -
stop treating customers like criminals. iTunes (well, thanks to EMI but still), O'Rilley, Baen
How many ****** times does a working business model need to be ******* well demonstrated before people get with the ****** plot? Why does every single industry need to go through the same pain and permanently drive a good proportion of their customers into a situation where they will
never buy from them again first?
Let's not go into the current situation where the entertainment industry is trying to cost the tech industry several times its entire yearly revenue* to ineffectually flail at darknets. Anyone would think they hadn't read the
Microsoft darknet paper...
