  Oh, I can read. I just can't imagine how he manages to identify and quantify the alleged number of people who used to pay but don't anymore. But since you're a good reader you can certainly fill us in on that part, right?

  because looking at topline revenue numbers in a single part of an industry doesn't tell you anywhere near the full story.
  
  But looking at piracy as the single cause for alleged losses does?

  This is also how they bust file shares cause since they get their media free and don't pay for it, they gain a commercial benefit for themselves. Rightsholder love German courts, especially the one in Cologne.

  I see, just because I think their hapless and damaging efforts do NOTHING to solve their problem, I automatically must be one of those stealing (no need to sugarcoat it with the word "pilfer" which is just as wrong) their product, right? You shills are pathetic.

  Given all the trouble they had to get through the DMCA and how SOPA failed badly, you really think they gonna get this approved?

  Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Given what has become a gargantuan number of notices because of gargantuan reposts, the system of yesteryear is simply not able to keep up with today's realities
  
  Given the gargantuam number of content the industry just cannot charge as much for it as in the system of yesteryear. To keep up with today's realities they need to offer there content in a timely manner, for a reasonable price without restrictions. If they don't, no takedown process ever will increase sales.

  Re:

  Even if you weren't being sarcastic (and a jackass), I totally agree with you: it's their shit so they should get the burden placed on them rather than the tech companies. After all, you don't blame AT&T when someone uses their phone lines to commit crimes.

  We're used to politicians being clueless jackasses but why the hell can't Google send someone a little more apt to debate these morons? You can bet I'd have a snide remark for his sarcastic "Oh? Those are all legitimate sites?" that would make him look stupid enough to think about trying pulling this stunt again.

  Re: Re: Re: Cinavia

  Doesn't matter at all cause there'll always be hardware like the WDTV and software that will ignore it completely which makes it quite fun to see the clueless executives view it as the silver bullet.
