You Must Ignore (Score 3)

So, a lot of stuff here that can be picked apart, but to hit the highlights. In order to go along with this you have to ignore the fact that corporations are directed by humans and think of them as inhuman entities bent on their own ends. This might work when the robots take over, but it doesn't work with the megacorps. You also have to accept the fact that all corporations work together and that if Corp A makes poison babyfood, CNN and whoever else will cover it up. This assumes journalists have been subverted by their corps and aren't humans either.

The blade of the jaunt is P2P, and that copying something someone doesn't want you to and only gave to you under the condition that you don't (again, another human and not an evil entity) is okay. In other words it's okay to lie that you won't copy something (it's implicit in buying music.) This is particularly funny after the author perscribes townhall meetings to get to the truth since (according to the author) journo corps will lie to you.

Sure the megacorps might do some nasty stuff, but don't overestimate human decencany and think of corps as non-humans. It's still a human doing the nastieness. And the journos might be lieing and blathering, but they're not doing it from some conspiracy or corp kickback (generally) but simply from inability to do their job well. And just because the corps lie to you doesn't make it okay for you to lie to them. :P
