Britain's new internet law. Fanflippingtastic.

To be fair, despite the fact I've been laughing my ass off between the arguments and kitties, what I got from this whole deal is the fact that for no reason other than the 'suspicion' that you pirated something whether it's movies, games or music you are the scum of the universe with this new law.

That's fine and dandy. Pirating = stealing = bad sort of mentality. I get that, I got a letter from Paramount a month back saying that I was the second coming of Hitler because I watched Monsters Vs. Aliens because I was bored off my gourd.

I like to think, however, the heart of the matter lies within the direction it seems this new 'law' seems to be going over across the lake so to speak. Essentially this is all about copyright infringement, if you do not own it, then you can not have it in any format at all. That in itself makes sense...but I think people are afraid of how FAR this will go, like a butterfly effect.

Essentially right now it's you get a hell of a punishment for the assumption or suspicion you downloaded music/software/movies a company owns. Five years, ten years, fifty years down the line who knows then, maybe you could end up being sued because you do not have the right to have an avatar of a popular video game on your forum profile, or you are allowed to use a picture of the beloved Dr. Cox because, quite frankly, you do not own the rights to use those images.

Crazy impossible scenario I know, but 20 years back people never would have imagined you could 'steal' right from the comfort of your own home.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
