"Even though unauthorized copying is illegal, attempts to eradicate it are like trying to enforce a ban on cussing."
That's probably one of the best analogies I've heard on this subject
Maybe the newspapers are thinking ahead of the curve and know that by the end of 2008 the web with become a DRM'ed, filtered, monitored and DMCA2.0'ed wasteland and everybody will obviously turn back to newspapers and then there biggest problem will be getting the real estate market back to where it was.... just some wishful thinking :D
Online poker isn't rigged, nor not profitable, but when you get down to playing, only approximately 10%-20% of the people online actually make money, where as only 5%-10% of people who actually play "live"(in casinos) make money. There are a lot of losers.
From my statistics: I've played against 2724 other players, 1192(43%) of them are up from the hands that I've played with them, 1575 (57%) are down money over the 21K hands(actually very low for the average online player) that I've played online over the past 3 months (since I turned 18). The reason that there are so many winners is because of the low volume of hands that I've played against most of them.
While I may be a winning player, it's a tough way to make an easy living with days where you can easily lose just as much as you made the day before and can only blame it on bad luck, not bad play. I could argue the dynamics of winning poker(including deals that the sites offer that most casual players don't know about, like rakeback) and how it is very very possible to make money, I'll leave that up to somebody who can explain it better than I can.
Technically from my understanding of the current legislator on online poker, it's illegal to transfer funds to a site, not play on it.
