  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Entertainment Industry -- here is a free clue

  If I'm actively searching for "free" anything, you've already lost. Why don't you try giving me a reason to look for your legitimate works instead of going for a nuclear option? That way you not only get me to buy your works, you never have to worry about piracy again and you get good will. No amount of money or laws will get you those last two.

  Re: Re: Re: Entertainment Industry -- here is a free clue

  Well, let's see. A few quick Google searches show the entire first page to be 100% legit for several new and old movies. So the argument about 9/10 being illegal is wrong.
  
  You say that it's about making illegal content less available. Why do that? Why not make legal content more available? It's been shown many, many, many, many times before how to do that (and it's not just about price).
  
  Let me give you a little bit of advice. Once you get this threw your head, you can move on. Piracy is not a problem. It's just that simple.

• On the post: Tales From Ubisoft DRM: Latest DRM Goes From Horrible To Slightly Less Horrible

  New generation of gamers

  Ubisoft is not targeting us with these games. They don't care about the true gamers, the ones that still play games from 20 years ago. They're targeting the new generation of gamers, the ones that won't buy a three month old game due to it's "bad graphics". They don't play games long enough to have a problem with this kind of DRM.
  
  What Ubisoft doesn't realize is the market that they target is fickle at best. They'll abandon a game, an entire line of games on a whim. It's those of us who actually keep playing games that make or break the industry. It's those of us that look beyond the pretty in the game that will keep coming back (or not in this case).

  I'll do it just for fun, but I'm not an artist. Anyone want to give me a hand and create a doodle for the front page?

  Re: Re: But how

  One step at a time. We just need to give the others something to worry about, and the MPAA and RIAA are vary large targets.
  
  We can't do it all at once, as has been said, we need to think strategically. Fighting a war on multiple fronts is not strategic.

  Re: Re: Re: Too true

  I didn't say it would work, I didn't even say I would sign up for one (I'd avoid it like the plague), I just don't think there was anything nefarious in NSTIC.
  
  OPEN on the other hand, I still have to read that to see how bad it is, but I'm already against it.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: But how

  The same way we got the Internet to band together, we show them exactly how these laws can affect them and that they can do something about it.
  
  That last part is important. They think that they can't do anything about it, so they don't. We just need to show them that they can do something, we've proved it today.

  Re: Too true

  Can someone summarize this thing for me in a way that can be read. So far all I'm getting is a standardized online identification method, not something Techdirt or Facebook would be forced to implement. Kinda like the HIPPA rules, but for banks and the like.

  Re: Re: But how

  Even so, 8,000,000 people can make a huge dent.
  
  We can do it, but one thing we need to do is not fall back on the "sheeple" idea. It provides a scapegoat for those who are on the fence. We need to pull them over.

  But how

  I think they're expecting too much, too fast. It's one thing to get people to E-Mail and call, it's another thing to get them to put down the video game and keep their eye on politics.
  
  If you want strategy, then here you go. Work with human nature. If they want to be lazy, let them do nothing. The next step? Well... I don't know, that's where the Think Tank comes in, but we have a good first step.
