[citation][nom]hasten[/nom]Can all you US haters please explain to me what your ultimate solution is? A realistic one, I'm not going back to hunter gathering. I started as a sociology major many years ago so I am keen to all the alternatives, but none of them realistically give me the quality of life I am experiencing now... In Europe or the US (yes we are interconnected). So give me a solution. Just cause the government doesn't want you pirating anymore you're butthurt? Pirating is stealing another hard working human beings work, that's a fact. I don't care if you think software/media is overpriced, your actions are harming fellow people. It's not the corporate fat cats, it's all the developers, producers, testers, and more that are hurt by your actions. You can live without 100 different games to play.Sure there are always hold to extremes and on both sides of this discussion and we have met plenty that hold those beliefs, but really? The sheep on both ends hold insane views... don't be a sheep. Do some research, find out what really bothers you and stop listening to whatever figurehead you think you believe in right now. None of the actions of these "protest" groups are helping anything, they more likely are making it worse. If you want to make a difference, don't hide behind a forum and some script kiddies, go and vote. Campaign for those who hold your views. I know you'll have to leave the basement, but it's not like you have jobs (J/K!!!).Feel free to downvote. I have never posted anything this "politically charged" (it isnt'), and jumped around a bit... but cmon children this is getting out of control.[/citation]
There's no solution. Not if we are ruled in heiarchy. Any group of humans given power will eventually exploit it, some to a greater degree. If there was a way to become extremely rich and no way of getting caught, and it was common place, you'd probably do the same eventually as would most of us. The problem is that it's so obvious to us all now that we are being cheated everyday by the government. Example: The bank bail out. Nobody asked us anything, they just took the largest amount of money ever shelled out on anything before, and gave it to companies that deserved to fail. If they had failed, we would have progressed and better companies would be around now taking their place. On top of that, they then hired those same people into very high level treasury type positions. I don't know about you but that's like someone looking at me right in the eye, taking a 20 out of my wallet, telling me it's for my own good, and giving it to a thug on the street that's already casing your joint from the driveway.
Honestly, the only system that would work fairly would be an autonomous computer that decided everything logically, taking humans out of the equation. That itself would be impossible too as a human would have power when writing its software. Getting rid of money would be a good start. that's what all these problems come from anyways. If we had to work hard for things, we'd all be working.
