It's their goal to enslave you, though if you live in the PRC you might not notice that - it's already been accomplished there. :) Yeah, I read the irony in your post, but I couldn't help myself... :-D "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" "Recursion." "Recursion who?" "Knock, knock..."

Don't you think that CP is even a bit evil, because it allows knowledge to be shared outside of the US of A ? Regardz Colin J Davies

A little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing. Fortunately, places like China and Afganistan have government firewalls to keep the knowledge out. In the western world, several media outlets give different versions of the story. We're informed, but too confused to act. "Religion is based on faith, and faith is immune to logic. Therefore, it's impossible to have a logical conversation about religion." -Christopher Duncan, CP Lounge

Actually if the government would start filtering out my spam, I think it would be value for the taxes I've been paying. As long as decent publications like the National Enquirer exist we'll be Ok, At least they publish news that the other "names" are too scared to release. Regardz Colin J Davies

People who share mp3s are terrorists. By denying the record companies.. err.. artists the money they deserve, they undermine the very foundations of capitlism and democracy and even life as we know it. Then there was that young hacker in Finland trying to watch DVDs on his Linux box. If we allow these things to happen, we might as well dye our flags red and call each other comrade.

wait just a minute. is sharing a mp3 an act of terrorism. NO Hacking the dvd-encryption for watching on a linux-box. NO Maybee illegal but not terrorism. Record companies live on the open market and if they cant adjust their buissnies model to the new reality of today then they are bound to go under. I rather bye my music direct from the artist and promote his/her work than from some shady record company whos pure interest are to make as much money out of me and the artist as possible. /Stefan

Technically neither of those are illegal either. (sharing mp3s isn't a problem if the music isn't copyrighted, and the legality of the DMCA is somewhat dubious) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

I was being sarcastic. I agree about record companies. I also don't have much respect for artists who call their music their 'product'. It makes me think of infomercials and plastic hair.

In the UK, reverse engineering for your own private use is perfectly legal (though you can't use that knowledge to then go on and distribute modified / derivative works) In other words, if a company distributes demo software that can be simply hacked into the full version, then that's not breaking any laws. Of course distributing the said hack, or telling other people how to do it would be illegal. -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

That even makes me laugh. Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

Although they [the US government] is in a no win situation trying to directly prevent further terrorist acts against US interests, this shows exactly how far out of touch with reality our politicians really are.
