Why do you have to be so reasonable, unlike the rest of the reactionary Internet ;) I haven't read it either at this point, as there is... rather a lot of it, but online piracy is still a crime that absolutely nobody knows how to deal with. So is online anything, really - one case was cited during my degree where someone had broken into a company's database and pulled out thousands of passwords and details, and they couldn't get him on "theft" because the company's data was, after all, still there...

And I'm not even sure what I think about it - it's such an accepted part of the Internet that you can just go on to Youtube and look for just about any television programme from the past, or song from any album, and it's just there - I do it myself with the programmes from my parent's old videos, and gratefully download heaps of British television each week from torrent sites (unavailable through any other channels) - I know that these two things are blatantly illegal, and yet I've never had a problem with it.

Anyway, they tried something rather along the same lines in Britain - it doesn't really work.
