You must have a shred of power. <BR/><BR/>(I once did some research on Hugo Chavez, so I'm familiar with the type. They are probably using the same company, actually.)<BR/><BR/>(Posted by a different anonymous commenter who does not work for the record companies, or the movie studios. or the FAST mafia, or any lobby group or corrupt politician. <BR/><BR/>PS. Please do not OUT me. I know you know my IP address. I'm just responding to the global crackdown and the huge waste of time and despair it is causing me. Can't someone just explain to these people that you can't legislate digital technology to fit an analog business model? It's just a matter of physical reality, folks! Laws don't affect physics.<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen anything so stupid since the photocopier crackdown in the 80s where they made it really inconvenient to do our school work because some crazy people were convinced photocopiers were going to put publishers and writers out of work. The library wouldn't let us copy a page, so we'd have to check out the book, and go from copyshop to copyshop trying to find one who'd photocopy a page for us. Often you'd have to go all the way downtown. A huge waste of time. Quite ridiculous, even at the time. And they wondered why the library books have pages ripped out of them. Now look at us! Now the same people complain the internet has created too many writers! <BR/><BR/>Too many legal writers that is... Bwahahaha! Harass that showy law professor... Try to ask her difficult questions... And call our PR company...Janice! Where's my email print outs?<BR/><BR/>But I rant... (See?

And fewer cyber disputes for legal academics to pontificate on. Perhaps you're enjoying the battle so much, you don't want the war to stop?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Could you correct your irrelevant and misleading question. As per my earlier post:<BR/><BR/><BR/>LE: "Does a foolish upload or two by a teenager in your house mean that dad and/or mum is banned from the Internet forever?"<BR/><BR/><BR/>The proposed bans are for persistent high volume infringers, and follow two warnings.<BR/><BR/><BR/>You write, correctly. that a disconnection has serious repercussions for a household. But you have again failed to address the issue of who's fault this may be. Why are you arguing that parents have no responsibility for their children?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16688455.post-76667511593369888312008-03-26T17:31:00.000+00:002008-03-26T17:31:00.000+00:00Slightly bemused by this comment.

I don't think resistiong 3 strikes and you're out as a disproportionate breach of human rights and due process, and advocating collective licensing, are incompatible - in fact they're complementary and I do support collective licensing approaches - far more consumer friendly than banning people fronm the Internet. See my previous cmments on teh You Tube and Viacom litigation eg. I refer you to my last para:<BR/><BR/>"I hope instead however that the UK government and BERR will, after due consideration, decide this approach, with all its capacity for disproportionate human right infringement and errors in proof and process, is not a suitable way to police filesharing, <I>when so many other routes exist </I>."panglosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900934369744270540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16688455.post-7714905576962127582008-03-26T17:09:00.000+00:002008-03-26T17:09:00.000+00:00Slightly bemused by this comment.
