Dont be a fucking offensive jerk.

The discussion of piracy has been done to death on these boards.
'Disconnection Without Fair Trial" is completely wrong but the only people that "really" care about this are those that download or facilitate Piracy.

Doesnt the Patriot Act affect Canadians. I think it does. Doesnt it break many of your own Civil Rights? Yes it does.

When did this thread become about the UK...

Lets not have this stupid argument because it doesnt end happily for anyone.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Lets not let this get out of hand.

I agree 100% that ANY argument is just a waste of your and my time.

There are a lot of Acts on your side and my side of the pond that are junk. I live in a province that hides behind a constitution it refuses to sign! My point is that governments, ALL governments, are very affraid of anything they cannot monitor and control (and by govenment I include those that fund their elections).

For the record, I do not advocate "piracy". I pay for EVERY piece of software and music I own (except, of course, those that are offered for free). In the not so distant past I have had one of my ideas marketed by someone who quite blatantly stole it, so the sting of this bite is known by experience.

It is the intimidation of reprecussions against things like "free wi-fi" that boil my blood. The son shall not be held accountable for acts of his father, and vise versa. I and only I am accountable for my acctions, no blame goes out.

*Puting soap box away*

Karlos, your opinions and views are ones I hold in high regard on this forum. No offence intended.

Phil.

No sweat man... You know how things can come across sometimes.

We are on other sides of the pond but probably on the same side of the fence on these matters.

Its cool man.

like you said, i think we're all on the same side here. i mean really whether we like it or not, it's us against them (govt) in a way.
