At last the truth about Macdrew comes out; desperately wanting to live in his brave new world where all creative content is free and provides no compensation whatsoever for its creators.
Macdrew, whomever you are, whatever your reason for desperately repetitively lying on here (wishful thinking; paid shill) the truth is your world of free content is a momentary aberration, which is already and will quickly and thoroughly be clamped down by united action of the governments of the world.
Because what you are fighting for to come to fruition is a world completely devoid of record companies and movie studios, completely devoid of any content worth watching, seeing, or hearing. Furthermore, whatever content that IS worth watching, seeing, or hearing that altruistic funded rich souls will put out for free, YOU AND ANYONE ELSE WILL NEVER FIND and will soon disappear via neglect.
We are mere months, possibly a year away from all infringing torrents being shut down for good. And any technology that tries to arise to fill the gap will quickly be put down. There are reasons that the governments of the world want and need to have a handle on creative content, a handle that exists through the status quo of established and I will agree, highly exploitive companies controlling what the public sees and hears. However, the alternative is, at first chaos, and then complete atrophy as no one will ever spend the time necessary to wade through all the junk to find any worthwhile content, and then, refuse to pass on what they find because of fear of losing peer status.
It's all going to change, and fast, and indeed, you are already seeing the first successful attempts at turning the clock back. Your brave new world of free movies and music for all will only result in movies and music that no one will ever want to see because of poor quality, and absolutely unable to ever find music or films of great quality because there will be no promotional machine to tell you about them. Everyone is too wrapped up in their own little world to pass on the word, and too afraid of looking like a fool without mass peer pressure backup.
Bottom line. Genie is about to be corked, and for a very long time, and for people who create content, for some very valid reasons. For people who exploit it and wish to control it, nefarious ones. However the alliance is forged, and has been for some time. And that corking is going to cork your plans for theft, as well as Steve Jobs plans to continue to exploit your thieving, just as he and Apple have exploited and supported theft by its consumer base for decades by various technologies, some as simple and basic as disk images, for instance.
As someone who has spent their whole life creating content, I find your and Steve Jobs' pirates' view of the world that all content should be free, unless of course it is Steve the Jobs himself who is profiting from that content, highly and personally and professionally offensive, and I will do everything in my admittedly limited power to stop you. You've almost completely and utterly destroyed pop music of any worth, and you're not going to do it to movies.
Widespread INSTITUTIONALIZED piracy WILL end; Blu-ray will thrive.
