Piracy well everyone is guilty of it in some form or another and a lot of material is simply not worth paying for whether it be films cds or whatever if only everything could be balanced between what is fair and what is not.
This is the result of 20 years of little to no regulation.

Look at the case of Crescent who were ripping off credit cards. If you have no regulation would that be legal or do the laws of the land take precedence? Or are some saying we should be selective about what laws we do keep and which ones we ignore?

The whole thing about "No Regulation or Censorship" confuses me. Are they saying we should be able to do as we please because it's the Internet. Or are they saying the laws of the land apply? Today we know they do, the problem is they were written before the Internet became what it is today. I think they should be adjusted to suit today's Internet.

Maybe Damian, kandah, Vixenator, Donfoolio, Ravensp and others should explain exactly what they mean by "No Regulation or Censorship". For instance if it's legal in a country for 15 year olds to have sex should it be legal to put up content of them having sex? I don't think so and want it both censored and regulated against. Do they think it should be allowed?

So DollarKing do you think the Internet should be regulated and censored or not?

As for content not being worth buying, that's something I have been saying for a long time. The problem is the thieves will steal good and great content. They use "not worth buying" as an excuse for theft.
