Back on topic another thread suggested the word booklegging, I tend to agree that such a word would be acceptable to anyone who isn't just astroturfing around here. |
I LOVE that name. That's a cool and sexy name that will promote file sharing. I will have to make a t-shirt of that forthwith!

And that is exactly what I said. This is a generational conflict, and it has happened before and it will happen again. Guess who always loses these things? The ones who die first. ACTA won't stop file sharing, government control won't stop it. To stop it you have to turn off the internet, and that's not going to happen either. Argue theft or not theft, argue pro or against, it's not really important. What is important is to try to understand what's happening and why and in lieu of society becoming an unchanging rock, what you can do to embrace what is happening.
