Make enough laws and eventually everyone becomes a
criminal. It really is over in the U.S., we've become a
nation of brainwashed, fearful, pussy whipped corporate
prostitutes who wouldn't know freedom if it bit us on
the ass.


Sorry, you total retard, but stealing is NOT a freedom.

Making a backup of one's own property is not stealing,
regardless of what the entertainment industry wants you
to believe.

Well, that's really up for debate though. You do not own the content of
the disc, you only have a license to use it.

And the use is called 'fair use'

Exactly. The software/recording/entertainment/etc/etc
industries have been trying to change basic fair use laws
for decades now. Does anyone even remember the
"don't copy that floppy" disinformation campaign of the
1980s and 90s?

As for DarkMatter, let him rant. It's natural selection
hard at work. I just can't imagine living in his fearful,
pussy whipped little world
