Awesome flash, bro.
maaannn, we are screwed either way.
WE can't afford to buy the thing because the industry gouges the price because there's no gold in Fort Knox (SARCASM OF JUSTICE), so we try to get it in the best way we can. = STEALINGZ???
But even if they DO rescind the crazy evil bits of the laws, we will still get screwed because the poor (evil-minded greedy nutbag price gouging trolls) are with us always. ;(
Give the MALICIOUS pirates what they and we (albeit for a different reason) want (read: no copyrights, no patents, no paranoia and no f^^^ ing price gouging), and their illegal business will fail. Those who will commit the deeper crimes always commit those crimes. No law is going to stop THOSe people. And all the little shits who are left will be inconsequential to keeping the peace. BECAUSE WHATEVER IS LEFT CAN BE EASILY REGULATED. That's one theory, anyway. Man...
Five words, you price gouging trolls.
