"I would guess" you're making shit up. You're willing to throw out anonymity and privacy because some people might be circumventing copyright somehow? You're pathetic. (Or you're a government astroturfer. But I repeat myself.)

Now making about 50 percent more in Australia. Went from high five figures to low six. Living the American Dream(TM) in the southern hemisphere.

You're out of your fucking mind if you think a Romney presidency wouldn't be worse than what we've got right now.

It would be an utter and complete horrorshow.

Has this ever, in the history of the United States, actually worked?

I'll spare you the research: no, it hasn't.

My theory is that the US Government was using the RIAA/MPAA as a proxy to get this rammed through.

Wow... are you being deliberately retarded or can you not help it?

Huh?

I missed the part where Kim Dotcom was uploading his own personal BluRay rips to MU.

I *remember* the part where his users did.

I don't give a shit how he made his money or whether or not you consider it "ill-gotten" simply because MU hosted some copyrighted material uploaded by users. It's an absurd contortion of logic and reason to say that he deserves none of his money because some of his users misbehaved.

$100m is the equivalent of one mid-tier movie budget. If you think Hollywood actually felt that tiny financial "hit", you're the one who's hopelessly naive.

#1 fails because there's no requirement, either written or implied, that a user's internet connection be secured.

#2 fails because common sense.

The US should cut its losses, give the dude his servers and money back, and go after some actual criminals. This is just pathetic.

No, they absolutely didn't. You're either ignorant or lying.

So, now you're re-framing the fucking debate. Originally your claim was that "all" liberals want "all" illegal immigrants to stay.

Stop fucking moving the goalposts, you dumb cunt.
