I wonder how long congress will allow themselves to be made fools of by the likes of the MPAA, RIAA, ESA, and BSA? We know these groups are lying, especially when it comes to Canada. Their own numbers contradict Canada's inclusion.

Some people claim that the Dreamcast failed because of piracy, but in reality piracy was really easy on the original PlayStation and the PS2.

So for companies who claim that Piracy is bad and will bankrupt the industry, I think that is a huge exageration.

 

As long a companies can sell their games at honest prices that are good for the consumer and also good for the industry, that will be ok.

High prices for Videogames will only encourage Piracy for most who can't afford Videogames.

So that is how I look at it.

I just wanted to come in here and say I appreciate the balanced coverage you've provided. I think we all know that when it comes to enforcing IP, and copyright law in general, our government here in the U.S. is bought and paid for.

 

Even though your parent company is the ECA you still provided the counter-point, albeit through another's words (The Inq.).

 

Bravo and thanks for the re-affirmation of your journalistic integrity.

Why is the ESA and the RIAA so poised on forcing other nations into making so called "anti-piracy" legislations?? Seriously. It's like the freaking mob and I am not joking here. What's next? Going after iTunes? oh no I forgot iTunes literaly belongs to the RIAA.

They're just jealous that we can still buy mod chips up here. :P Why, last week I went down to the corner store and bought twenty mod chips for a nickel!  And tomorrow I'm going to distribute them amongst my piracy-minded chums so we can play all the imported Japanese titles and homebrew games we please!  HA-HAHAHA!  Take that, American electronic entertainment economy!  We're putting a hole in your profits tens of dollars deep!

Everyone first bow your head and pray to the Lord God Obama first the Jewish Heads of the ESA and ECA want to let you know they support our President even though they support the great Islamic Freedom Fighters!

But as you might already have known the God-King Barrack Obama and his white house have came our publicly and blamed Canada for 9/11. Yes the Democratic Party not to offend Mexicos border have taken the position to attack Canada and blaming them for 9/11 and for the Overseas Contingency Operation which Obama now has renamed from the War on Terror because Muslims are great and we don't want to offend them!

So Liberals late at night when you hate yourself and your country and look your European Masters and Canadian Betters to see how you can better yourself remember Canada is no longer better then you!

Canada is currently though in defense mode seeing the Democratic Party are attacking them on all front. That part and them blaming them for 9/11 with the Obama White House is very true and of course Obama renaming WoT

EZK: I am completely baffled by what is stated here. I want to delete it for being way off topic, but I can't seem get my mind out of the spin this thing has sent it in to do so.
