I hope everyone is getting sick and tired of the powers that be can change the rules to suit their current needs, then allowing large companies to do the same. Then want to fine us and throw us in jail at the drop of a hat. Okay here is my feelings on file sharing, I DO NOT have a problem with it because these companies that are making such a fuss over it like Sony for example. They are making money hand over fist and then selling us the tools we need to share things if we choose to do so.
Today I burnt six movies for friends of mine on a DVD burner made by Sony on DVDs made by Sony. My point is they are making money on both sides of this whole copyBULLSHIT! It was back in 2003 that they seized companies and arrested like 55 people which owned tax paying business with employees for making bongs and pipes because they could be used for illegal purposes. This is no different when I buy a burner and blank DVDs and a program to burn disk, guess what yer damn right I am going to burn copies for my friends again and again with every @#$%& movie I purchase. And I am paying for the movie ,the disk, the burner, the program and that's how come they were able to afford to make the shitty movie in the first place. These super stars and political @#$%& hats that want to decide whats right and wrong for the rest of the world all the while not being held accountable for their actions as they make money hand over fist from both sides of an argument while we take a sack lunch to work hoping if we do that all week we can take our wife and two kids to see a movie. Which if you haven't been to in a while you can plan on a minimum of forty bucks to do that. So if you pack your lunch for two weeks in a row you should be able to get some popcorn and candy providing you split the drink. File sharing is not going to starve any of these people or put them out of work, and chances are I paid to see the show, liked it enough to purchase the DVD for my father all before I downloaded it for my son to take over to his girlfriends house so they could listen to it as they were busy fooling around. What's right for me may not be right for some of you just the same as some of the choices you make may not be right for me but are the right decision for you and your family. I met a man once who would poach deer and I thought very little of him for doing that because I didn't believe in it. Come to find out him and his wife had nine kids at home four from his first wife and five from her first marriage. After I realized that I understood it was the right choice for him and he had all the right in the world to feed his family and I was the one in the wrong for thinking I was better than him and I knew or had any right to impose my feelings on how he should live.
Here is what every single one of you need to learn as you all bitch about wanting your freedom. That word freedom means freedom for EVERYONE NOT JUST FOR YOU. So you don't get to think that your way of living is any better than anyone else. You don't get to look down your nose at others because of the choices they make and in return they would have to allow you to make your choices even if they don't agree. That's why we will never be free and you have no one to blame but yourself. Leave people alone, we make mistakes all of us and whats right for one person may not be for others but its not for us to decide for them your way is not the best way. It may be for you but allow me to decide whats right for my family or if it comes to it be ready to fight and that's no good for anyone is it.
