Nah, you don't get orf that easy - even if piracy was eliminated the MI wouldn't drop prices

The whole thing is daft because a: we'll see lots of people falsely accused (with little comeback no doubt) and b: those who want to do dodgy things can easily sidestep such measures. This sort of thing categorically *does not work* in the way it's being promoted. We've sat and watched the travesty of the RIAA etc who were doing much the same - the difference here is no real level of 'evidence' has to be achieved. Sure, the penalties aren't bad up front but these things tend to trickle under the door before the main flood brings the house down.
So congrats to the people with the big piles of money and lots of lobbyists - because their voice (comrade) is a lot more important that yours. Tis a sick world.
