1. I don't use any of these sites
2. Enforcing all of them seems that it would have to be a massive undertaking
3. People who trade "security" with freedom usually end up with neither (that's a paraphrase of someone else's statement of course)
4. We have MUCH bigger problems in the US than what kid is fapping to whatever pr0n is the fotm.
5. See #4 again

I think it's more about controlling information distribution on the internet. When the shit hits the fan and our economy is imploding, food shortages become a reality, people will be going insane and last thing the government will want is a coordinated rebellion..

I bet you'd change your tune if you wrote a book and no one bought it because they all got it off the internets for free.

If your justification is legit then I'm sure the copyright holder already allows for it. If they don't then it isn't legit. The Idea that the infringor gets to decide impact and legitimacy of the infringement is nuts. And every one of you. Every single one would scoff if the roles were reversed.
I assure you Sky Sports didn't shut down Filesonic because I was downloading their matches. They could care less. In fact to the extent it can be segregated they probably like it because it builds their brand overseas and gives their advertisers free viewers.
File sharing sites are used for a whole host of harmless activities that hurt no one. I am on board that pirating games or movies instead of buying them is not justifiable.
In another example, my wife and I watch Japanese TV through megaupload and other similar sites. It isn't broadcast here - and it's broadcast for free on Japaense TV - so it's not like we're costing the broadcaster anything. In fact they're getting more vieweres for their advertising. Is that also "stealing"?

If you take something that someone else has the right to control your consumption of, and you consume it outside of their approval then I think it's stealing. I've never understood the impact defense to stealing. Especially when it comes to IP rights, because a lot of IP holders expressly allow certain unpaid consumption. So if you are taking from those that don't, I don't see how it can be anything but stealing.

Because of my opinion on this I would never expect to make money off a book in the first place. If I ever write a book I'll be the first to upload it.

congratulations on saying something that was not only completely retarded but also a lie. If you wrote a book and a publisher told you you could make a million dollars, or deutchmarks or bottle caps or whatever you guys use, off of it there is a zero percent chance you'd upload it for everyone to enjoy for free. A zero percent chance.

Google says you are completely dated in your business model.
