Quote : So you're suggesting respecting pirates protects against piracy? ...

it is to respect the Individual you never know who sits on the other end of the machine it might be your best friend your Nabor or your Wife.

99% of people who own a computer can be accused of Pirated stuff "even on your machine" if there would be a control for sure something could be found that are not Legitimate! could be a song a clip a movie a game a youtube ect ect even a text you have copied on Google "we all are Pirates of some sort". so I would say why accuse others if you might have something your self on your machine. Your even guilty if you did not know that you have it . "I am not a white sheep and I think either are you".

As I stated it is Everyones own decision on what he supports and sure it might be a speculation just like Daz speculates on Encryptions. but I don't think that I am wrong , if customers, Creators fallow, it will state the act ! And Daz will build up upon that system , if Creators Consumers don't fallow, Daz will be forced to drop that idea. things are not carved in stone the costumer is still king and it will be on there decision on how things will be treated. I see that Encrypted stuff still as suggestion , but I also see that allot of costumers are offend by the Idea, feeling pushed into something they actually dislike.
