So who decides how many people will form this “Pirate Board”? Who decides which people are on the board? What legal recourse will those who are falsely accused have? What penalties will there be for those that abuse the three strikes rule? Trust me, if there is even the slightest means of abusing a law, unscrupulous folks will take full advantage of it. Based simply on how IP address work and the need for DHCP, I can see a lot of honest hard working folks getting disconnected, followed up with a hell of a hard time proving their innocence. Just look at how frivolous lawsuits have gotten completely out of hand over the years, wasting millions in taxpayer money! Speaking of money, who will fund the “Pirate Board”? I say the entertainment industry should foot the bill, or at least a large part of it. Not the taxpayer! Who decides how much is spent during any given year of operation? Where should all that money should be allocated? Big fat paychecks for serving the interests of greedy corrupt corporations? I think not! There are probably tons more questions that need asking that I haven’t even thought of at the moment as well.

Coming up with an lopsided idea that sounds good to one side of this issue is easy enough, but has anyone bothered to think of everyone that will be affected by it as well as the many ways it can all go horribly wrong? Does anyone think that Venice would have still been built on the location it was if the original founders had bothered to look beyond the fact that it had a nice view of the ocean? Color me as very very doubtful.
