Yeah I know ignorance of the law is no excuse
and I know this has been debated more than once in the forum, but most people are not aware of the copyright laws they have alledgedly broken.

The only time the MPAA or RIAA attempt to educate the consumer about copyright laws is when they sue a 12 year old and it hits the newspapers. We know about it here because we discuss these things but the average joker on the street is unaware that they are breaking any laws.

There still exists the wild west mentality of computing that if I can access it then it is free and there has not been any appreciable amount of public awareness created on the subject. Heck before the speed limits change the public is given thirty day notice and one cannot get away form it in the local news.

Yo Mama ever slappep you for something you did wrong and you did not know it was wrong? I bet not. I bet she sat down with little NonZealot and explained what you had done wrong was wrong and the next time you were caught she was gonna beat the stew out of you. You did not do it again. This was because of respect not fear. Fear is not a very good motivator and yo Mama knew that.

The RIMPAA nazis have not learned the lesson yo Mama knew. They have no respect from their customers and they do not respect their customers. All the RIMPAA nazis know is sue and use fear. Right like they are gonna sue 60 million people.

My movie is about to finsih downloading, see ya.
