They facilitate it and are complicit. That's why assault weapons were banned in the first place.

they might kill the greedy profit machine, but not the concept of IP. Nor will the idea you can copy and use any information and use it any way you want be a reality (when you're pro-counterfeit, pro-ID theft, pro-plagiarism and pro-fraud, let me know)

I am pro Fair Use.
The DMCA is an obscenity.

I am pro Fair Use.
The DMCA is an obscenity.

Fair use is allowed under DMCA, anybody who's gotten a DMCA notice on Youtube knows that. Oh, and I specifically say "any reason you want" which is not limited to fair use.

He is if he's less respectful of DMCA notices



No criminal respects law enforcement, which includes privacy infringement. I bet you didn't know that the Constitution protects copyright and intellectual property, but not privacy.

The bill of rights most certainly does protect privacy in that it bars unreasonable searches and seizures without warrants supported by probable cause. It does not protect privacy to the point of view where "whatever happens in my bedroom is my own private decision". So we've gotten privacy backwards. Technically speaking the government should no more have a right to go into your home looking for pot as they do to go in looking for condoms.
