What are your opinions on these subjects? There are people all over the place trying to stop things like piracy and cyber bulling happening, but on top of that, there are millions of people continuing the actions.
Are they pissing in an ocean of piss here? And what do you think about these kind of things? Personally, I don't think they should even bother cracking down on either of them, its pretty much a waste of time, no?

I could understand the piracy thing. If I was a singer I'd be pissed niggers were stealing my shit. Cyber-Bulling is just fucking stupid. If you commit suicide because of something somebody said on IRC then you deserve to die.:facepalm:
They make their money from touring, not cd sales. If these artists were smart they'd offer their music in .flac, 320kbps mp3 and maybe apple lossless on their website for $3. I don't want to spend $15 on a cd, but buying an album directly from the artist for $3 and getting .flac would make me way more likely to do it. I try to support artists I really like, but I think it's really stupid that they get 1 cent from the cd sale and the rest goes to the record company. Supporting artists is good. Supporting greedy record companies is not.
The truth is though that I've found tons of bands thanks to filesharing. Without it, I wouldn't even have bothered. I'll spend 97 cents to buy a random used cd, but I won't spend $15 on a cd I haven't heard before. If I'm at a local concert and I like the band, I'll spend $10 on their cd, knowing they're reaping the rewards.
There's no way to stop piracy or cyberbullying. People need to get over it. Companies need to adapt. People need to learn how to not be a cyberbullying target (i.e. don't put stupid fucking videos of yourself on the internet).
I am 110% for people trying to stop anonymity and piracy on the Internet. It makes the year interesting to watch failed attempt after failed attempt. Anonymity isn't the issue when it comes to cyber bullying. Don't blame the bully, blame the instigator (the child and dumbass) that is allowed to come online into a world that is still just an infant compared to the physical world that's been around for thousands of years (human history) which has been mastered.
Stopping piracy? That's even more impossible at this point than preventing anonymity. Those trying to curtail it have no fucking idea how the shit even works in the first place. I've been involved with piracy for 14 years and little has changed except the maturity has dropped amongst those who actually pirate and those who crack things for others to pirate. Businesses are wasting their fucking time using DRM and encryption and it just gives them a reason to act like fucking douchebags and mark up their bullshit half-assed products and then blame piracy for lack of sales. Unfortunately, the government actually takes them serious and hardly ever tries the game or application in the first place.

Shit... I'm a Cyber Sinner. lol
This nation is really becoming a sespool of weak kneed, pussy baby bitches. Grow the fuck up. Not everyone is going to be nice to your big fat vagina feelings. Suck it up. What has changed in the last 20-15 years that we need to be a bunch of pussies?
Yeah, im so fucking sick of protectionist culture in general. Internet, smoking, 1st and second ammendments, "keep it green", "fat tax". Maybe if people stopped trying to limit my rights, and GREW THE FUCK UP AND HANDLED THEIR OWN SHIT then the world would be a better place.
I blame liberals' and hippies. Its truley amazing how damn sensitive everyone has become. It makes you fear for our country I mean damn.
You speak the truth. Personally, I love hurting peoples feelings over the internet and getting music, movies, comics, books, games, and software for free. I'm a very bad man. :hai:
I don't see what liberals have to do with it. I'm a liberal and I love cyber bullying.
