Submission + - Piracy is NOT legal or Decriminalized in the UK (ironsocket.com)

qjdotnet writes: I've seen this story around the net and on social sites, but the title is completely misleading to make people click, or just believe the title without reading the article, which doesn't really go to great lengths to contradict the title. Piracy is not legal, there will be less enforcement.

Originally VG247.com posted a very misleading topic that the UK has decriminalized piracy. It's simply not true. http://www.vg247.com/2014/07/2...

Piracy is very much illegal, but the enforcement aspect will be minimal. However, ISP logs will still be kept so in my opinion if the government/media corporations want to go after a high profile target, they will. We are not yet 100% in bizzaro world where piracy is legal.

And what shred of humanity is that? if you look back through history most wars and interventions are fought for profits. Nothing else, dressing it up for humanitarian reasons does not change the fact that wars are fought for profits. Libya for example 'humanitarian action' 'i.e. regime change'

Sigh you do realise it is 32C at this latitude right? bodies rot, and there are wild animals in this part of the world. I bloody well saw wolves in the Urals not far from the roads. So they move the bodies, oh they are evil, they don't move the bodies bodies rot or get eaten or decay rather quickly (you ever seen how fast dead things rot?) oh they are so disrespectful not moving the bodies.

What like Iran flight 655? where the US government obfuscated and lied about it for years making fake claims that it was heading right for them. Funny enough Regan called the shoot down of Korean flight a crime against humanity. 4 years later the USS Vincennes shoots down Iran flight 655 and it was a regrettable incident. Double standard much?
