Hope you didn't break anything when you tossed and turned...



Generalisation.. A principle, statement, or idea having general application. was I talking about me....


I didn't say you were talking about you, I was address your "compassionate understanding" of why others download illegal items.

The "principle" is the same, wether it is "drugs" or MP3's or whatever else law enforcement go after, my point was they target the "minnows" instead of going after the "sharks" and it is on-topic...
I disagree. The "law enforcement" is not targeting only the minnows. They are also wrongly targeting the P2P application creators. I think it's wrong that Napster was shut down because people were using it illegally, and against the wishes of the creator. It's not on-topic, because the analogy doesn't apply to the topic. Sorry.

Because I fe*cking want to....no...oh okay, if these organisations applied the same rules to everyone then it would be a level playing field, don't think it's just RIAA/MPAA, each country has an associate industry which goes hand in hand with the RIAA/MPAA and in some cases let's them take the lead in going after major downloaders in foreign countries, when they manage to get cooperation.
Interesting that your link above proves beyond a doubt just how the RIAA and MPAA are doing just what you want them to do. And yet you finish the same post by saying the businesses are NOT applying the same rules to everyone. Which is it? I'm lost now.
