I have a sure fire way to get rid of all this garbage legislation and fix the root of the piracy issue. All of these entities that are pushing these flawed attempts at fixing a problem they invented are looking at this all wrong. Instead of paying all these millions of dollars to lobbyists, influence peddlers and elected officials, they should send the money directly to us, the end user. Why would we pirate anything if we were getting the money that is wasted on these forms of influence buying. We're not talking chump change here. We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. Per year. If the gave each of us a million dollars up front, and a percentage of the same amount they are spending right now, we would each gladly promised to honor their intellectual properties. But with the following proviso, like I'm sure the people they are giving the money to right now make obvious to them, they have to keep the money flowing. I think that it will save money in the long run, boost the economy and clear our law books of unenforceable statutes.
