FIRST AND FOREMOST;
I would like the approval and/or disapproval of a moderator on this topic since I know internet piracy is a touchy topic here. What I hope to accomplish here is not to bash England's new laws on the subject because I support pirating things (Which I do not.), but rather see if people think they are just and if so, should they be put into effect here in the Colonies.
- Thank You.
So I heard of these new anti-piracy laws in England that are going into effect and thought they were pretty harsh, but I wanted tog et the opinion of the people of Newgrounds since we represent people from different parts of the world. You can read and watch things about the subject at these sources to further educate yourself about whats going on if you wish to be a participating member in the discussion. If this isn't enough for your hungering brain then use google like the smarts lads you are.
