The whole family, including me, is down with a flu bug so my brain really isn't functioning at full capacity. I was lucky to remember the article existed ;) Thanks DA.

They like that word. I wish I could remember the article, there was one here at p2pnet mentioning
some corporate boob said that taping a show and skipping the commercials

I suggested this to someone else. I was mocked 'You see the future and it's all BAD' I was told. No, I see what's happening now all around, and it follows the same pattern everywhere. We'll see about the future. Every little bit they get, they go for even more, and usually get it.

I was mocked ‘You see the future and it’s all BAD’ I was told.

No, I see what’s happening now all around, and it follows the same pattern
everywhere.

We’ll see about the future.

Sadly that is looking less and less likely as time goes by. It is the public whom chooses whether a price is fair or not and it is the public who puts money in their coffers, making them rich. It never ceases to amaze me how blind and short sighted the industry is being when it acts the way it does, calling it's very own customers criminals, generating anger and resentment. If they need protection from anyone, it is themselves. After reading the above I have to admit that I am beginning to lose the last of my optimism, not just for a better future but also in our governments ability to do the right thing by taking an honest stand for all of this country's people. With the path we seem to be on right now, I see a bleak future with no more fair dealings when it comes to copyright and no more far dealing when it comes to finding justice in the courts. Just look at Sweden and how difficult it has been for TPB to get a fair trial, something supposedly guaranteed as a constitutional right. With most judges having business ties to the very industry attacking all of us, the future is looking very dark indeed. I have a feeling it is going to get much worse before it begins to get better too. Greed, fear, ignorance and intolerance. I feel these four will be the true horsemen of the apocalypse.
