Re: SOPA
Prof, that's interesting. The question I have is how would file sharing be stopped without infringing on the 'openness' of the internet? Who writes those parameters outside of some other(conventional investigation, sniff-out) form of enforcement.
I'm personally against taking tax dollars away from other, important funding programs and redirecting it towards another law enforcement sector.
The Game: Are you basically saying that companies are at fault for not coming up with the magic DRM pill for their products? Because, DRM isn't possible, imo, without requiring the consumer to be connected 100% of their 'use time' to the internet for verification.
I personally won't buy a product that requires that. Looking at you Ubisoft.
Or even the 3DS. Probably would have bought one if nintendo hadn't adopted stealth updating.

I wouldn't be sure of the specifics, but in essence there need to be laws specific regarding appropriate use of electronic property, and IMO they should be equivalent (or very close to equivalent) to those laws protecting personal property. Most people just don't understand, or agree with, the idea that you can make such a hard line between stealing data or stealing a physical item.
Like with most laws, they should be enforced when a crime takes place, and not try and prevent the law from being broken in the first place.

I agree with the idea that stealing personal property and stealing digital property should have the same penalty. Maybe even worse for stealing digital property.
And receiving stolen property when someone else actually stole it should have the same penalty as using stolen digital content that was actually stolen and distributed by someone else.
The hard line is between what is stealing, and what is receiving stolen property. Not between what's digital and what's physical.

If the company wants to make their product more sellable by not protecting it, that's a business decision. If they don't want their stuff stolen and use DRM as their solution, that's also a decision.
