approx 400 million dollars a day is being stolen!

yes laws will be passed one day, we pass laws when its way to late thou.

It will be a simple law, you have stolen property on your server you are just as big as a criminal as if you have stolen TV's in your car, and if you host anything that helps stealing you are charged criminally

this will happen, not because its hurting adult but because entire industries are facing total collapse
