Biden was nearly a good enough reason for me not to vote for Obama he's so bad. If Biden had his way, encryption would be illegal. Biden is the reason that PGP was published for free, no joke. Seriously, what was Obama thinking in selecting him as VP?
When will people learn that downloading movies is not "teaching companies a lesson", all it tells them is that you still want their product you are just being a putz about not buying it. They will keep doing what they can to market to you and try to get you into the theaters, you don't think they don't pay attention to how many seeders one genre of movie has online?If you really want to hurt them, don't support them period, don't watch any movies, download them, nothing.
Some of these people need to read up more on what a lobbyist does.They ATTEMPT to influence. Success is not guaranteed, especially if the politician didn't take any money! :)
Point being that the MPAA is still going full tilt to stop piracy when Hulu shows that a free and viable model for online distribution of media already exists. If they had just embraced new technology and implemented a model like Hulu years ago we could have been spared all this nonsense, f**ktard.

Well, it's a good thing that Biden isn't President and that Obama wanted someone that would disagree with him to be VP.
