Study: Paying lawmakers to extend Copyright protection duration every time content nears public domain status (Disney, etc.) is unconscionable.
When laws allow unlimited ownership of ideas, it is to a society as iron fusion is to the core of a star.
When verified realities lead us to anger, we must learn to reevaluate our beliefs.

Is it any wonder why the MPAA has a corrupt "ex" politician as their boss? Christopher Dodd is one of the biggest scumbags on the planet, and that's actually offensive to scumbags.

Or as my sadistics teacher use to say in class:
"Statistics never lie, but liars use statistics."
"99% of all statistics are completely useless, including this one."
"There are lies, damn lies and statistics...."
I think 100% of your statistics for your post were made up ;)

The article reads 99.7% of all then as you read it there is 99.7% of a sample of 12k files out of millions.
Is this a pun intended?

Wow are these guys morons!!!!
1. ask your self these questions if it was true that the number was 99.7 percent that means every house hold would be downloading a movie or music cd a day which is absolute garbage!!!
2. most torrents contain viruses malware and spyware and there are several fakes out there as well did you test them all most likely not!!!!
So your numbers are bull plain and simple

Guess what? Even if it was currently 99.9% they can always say Torrents can be used to help distribute 100% legal free data..thats like saying They shouldn't sell CD-R/DVD-Rs because people use them for illegal copying..everyone knows they majorly do but they can also be used for personal/legal data... Also they only took MOST POPULAR 12,500 out of 3.5 million files... thats like saying the most popular 1/2916 of the files are illegal..

This report was brought to you by the research group, Duh!? Inc.
Someone told me once that theres a right and wrong, and that punishment would come to those
who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
