A fine line
I think there is fine line between something being illegal and being just outright censorship. Personally, I think the Government should keep their damn hands off the internet. I believe they should keep their hands off it, so people that use it, can police themselves. People who actually use the internet should have their own code of conduct, and if it is being violated, then others she be able to cyber attack them if want to. You should be able to get whatever programs that you want, so you will also be able to get defensive programs too. Personally, I don't mess with the stuff, and I say live and let live. That, and you get what you pay for.
Just the other day, I downloaded a program, and it ended up being a virus. Who's fault was it. Was it mine, or the person who made it? I would have to say it was mine. I didn't bother to update my anti-virus software or to scan it. I have to take responsibility for it, and not blame a worthless hacker who had nothing better to do with his or her time. These people who don't maintain their machines and get viruses from doing stupid stuff, actually deserve it, in a way. When you use a computer on the internet, you know you have a chance to get a virus from a lot of places so you should protect yourself with the knowledge that is out there. Having a computer on the internet means you should take the responsibility for your machine. What you do with it, is your business. Blaming others for the faults or the viruses you may get, is just your own fault. If you give a gun to someone who doesn't know how to use it, something bad will occur. Its the same with a computer. If people can't learn the rules and protect themselves, then its their own fault. If they can't accept that, then, maybe they should just not use the internet and just use their computers in a closet and not connect to others.
Let freedom reign!!!
