P2P Madness

Damn, I hate all this! Just think about one little fact - the P2P madness is far from being over, and what I really hate is that you're being considered guilty by default in most countries, since they are throttling P2P traffic, monitoring your every bit of data, and so on. I know, it sounds horrible, and it may also be illegal for them to do this in most areas...but do you really think they care?

In a recent article published by ArsTechnica, it is being said that "Law enforcement in Sweden is pushing for the power to get personal information on file sharers who are guilty of lesser copyright offenses. Sweden's police are reportedly preparing to send a report to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow that will request changes to the law so that police can pursue cases beyond those that would warrant prison time, allowing them to gain access to P2P users' phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and more."

As you probably know already, if you're into all this P2P madness, Sweden is the country where the notorious Pirate Bay is located, and a new file sharing bill will turn virtually every file sharer into a criminal. There's one thing these guys will never understand, it seems - if you really like something, you buy it.

That's it. Most people I know downloaded some illegal content one day, sometimes even without knowing what they're doing, but in the end, justice has been done - they got the original discs added to the collection, and that's what really matters, after all.
