In case you weren't paying attention, this became an issue of privacy rights.

Copyright reform is not a minor issue- it effects almost everything you do, from listening to music on the radio to recording reruns of Seinfeld on your TiVo. Do you want to be walking down the street one day, whistling a popular song, and then arrive back home with a statement from the RIAA saying you violated "their" Copyright? I didn't think so. This is also a big deal for artists, since the RIAA/MPAA generally take ~90% of all of their money earned through performing/recording AND they own the rights to that artists music. This is not a minor issue- it's a REALLY big deal. I really wish that there was a similar party in the United States.

Exactly, I'm aware of the underlying issues but obviously 95% of the reason why all these piracy articles get so many Diggs is because people (mostly kids strapped for cash) want free s**t.Right now digital content is like those candy bowls left on doorsteps at Halloween.

do you knows who is thomas thorpe ? <a class="user" href="http://www.google.com/search?q=thomas+thorpe">http://www.google.com/search?q=thomas+thorpe</a> (not the one who plays football/soccer :D )He was a pirate too: he has printed illegally some of the works of Shakespeare. wikipedia: In 1609, Thorpe published the most important work of his career, Shakespeare's Sonnets. His apparent disregard for Shakespeare's permission earned him a poor reputation, although modern author Katherine Duncan-Jones has argued that he was not such a "scoundrel" as he was portrayed, and the amiable and admirable Blount would certainly not associate with him if he were a scoundrel. funny

We should use torrent as the platform for the web 3.0 but this is impossible without political support. Imagine something like wyzo, but with html pages from torrent. full wikipedia on torrent? Horror story for dictators censorship. :D :Djust science fiction. marco
