Comment Time to ban energy (Score 2, Interesting) 216

Well, lets see...

CD burners: only pirates use those to make copies of disks

DVR: makes illegal copies of shows

MP3/4 players: plays copies that are likely illegal

blank media: odds are it is going to be used to make illegal copies

mass storage: who needs over a few MEG, any more and you must be using it to store illegal music/movies/software

printer: you could print out books cutting out the publisher

computers: used to copy music/movies/software and share them

email/mail/pigeons with flash drives: used to send illegal copies

When it comes right down to it the only way to stop anything from "assist[ing] copyright infringement" is to ban all energy, without movement data cannot be transferred hence no copies! Now how much energy will it take to cool Brazil down to absolute zero?
