while pirates and piracy does make me sick, i find that this ruling is very bad for privacy and freedom.
if the people we pay for services from can't keep our information privatized and safe, then who will?
for the first time in a while, i am in agreement with verizon on something. it is appalling that ANY ogranization, Gov. or not would infringe on the public interest over a few bucks.
as illegal as pirating music is, the fact remains this guy wasn't selling the files, he wasn't charging people to listen to them, there was no money being made at all...he/she downloaded 600 songs they like, for private use in their own home.
never once was commerce actually imposed on.
this is a victory for an evil and controlling lobbiest, the RIAA, and signifies another loss of civil ilberty and national freedom that most citizens take for granted.
my friend and i have discussed this before, the only true resolution to the current state of american civilization is complete revolution.
it is scary to think about, but it is the only way to take any control and power back from the government and the corporate lobby. a unification of the mass public, tearing down both the digital and physical infrastructure and barriers placed in front of us by these organizations.
maybe one day the mass public will actually realize how fucked we are.
