Re: Disturbing Facts
I think things should stay as they are. Would it really be in our best interests to disable our copying and filesharing technologies? Those people who want to pirate will continue to do so; It might require cracking software protection or modifying hardware, but I'm sure they'll figure it out. If software companies come up with a near unbreakable copy protection, great for them. They should. However, hardware should not be crippled. Suppose all future CD burners refuse to burn CD's half the time. Will I go out and buy one? Nope. I'll use my outdated old one, and it'll be a pain in the ***.

Fear the squirrel.
