No doubt, but this is a thread on a fairly serious subject which will be read via Google by many other people who would not understand that.

This is a thread about free speech.

I was merely exercising my right under the European Convention on Human Rights to call sootyj a "sick f**k" knowing full well that 99% (actually, I assumed 100%) of the people reading it will understand that my target was trigger-happy yank cops.

Like when Ricky Gervais talks about how he hates disabled people he's really having a subtle dig at, yeah, society, yeah.

The inability and reluctance of the music and film industry to move with the time led to a massive generation spanning piracy increase, it cannot be fixed, and the government deciding what you can and cannot look at is bull crap, the only reason this will go through is because large bags of money has landed on politicians desks.

And politicians being as corrupt and greedy as most the media CEO's it probably will be done. Although in a sneakier manner.

How to fix the problem:

Make a stable online platform where people can watch what they want when they want for a fixed fee. Make it easier to just pay £5 a month than it is to torrent or IRC stuff. Because if people are anything, it's f**king lazy above being greedy.

An all-you-can-eat service is the only way forward. How much did the average household pay for albums back in the glory days of the record companies? $20 per month? Then for LESS THAN $20 (reduced distribution and manufacturing costs) let every member of the family have access to EVERY song ever recorded on EVERY device of their choice.

I used to pay almost $100 per month for cable TV but rarely watched most channels. Now it's easier to pirate content from around the world in almost real-time and it costs me about $15 per month. I'd gladly pay more if I could have live access to channels from around the world on an ala carte basis.

I've seen a few motion picture studios experimenting with movie releases via television/Internet running concurrently with theater releases. Seems like a good idea to me.

The main thing is picture quality. If you offer it at good quality with good connections people don't feel like their getting shafted they'll pay.

The days of family sitting down infront of TV all together like the butt f**king brady bunch has long gone, its time to start accepting that the round peg won't fit in the f**king square hole and adapt.

The stuff that I stream legally (like Netflix) is HD and perfectly acceptable.

Would you prefer live ammunition, you sick f**k?

Tazers are there as an alternative to lethal force.

Was this really necessary Kevin, insulting SootyJ because he expressed concern over excessive policing actions on young kids!

Anyway let's all insult Sooty!

Tazers can kill people with heart complaints or epilepsy

Guns kill everyone

You want to single out people with health conditions as being more likely to be killed.

I think we can see who's the sick f**k and who's the bigot.

Spent 24 hours off Facebook to show my solidarity (well any excuse not to go on it) and just had a quick peek.

Yep, I missed nothing. Were people always this boring?

This. It's entirely their own fault, but they're all too f**king retarded and stubborn to realise. And again, they reckon they can legislate human behaviour and their own customers' demands. Moronic.

Also, movie and TV are a slightly different matter, but the sooner the 'record industry' realises, accepts and owns up to being nothing more than glorified marketing companies, the better.
