Piracy is a service problem. Also, if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing.

This is the same congressperson who named a bill after Aaron Swartz,<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=5064448">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=5064448</a> (<i>&quot;Rep. Zoe Lofgren Introduces Aaron&#x27;s Law [pdf] (house.gov)&quot;</i> (2013))

I fucking love Public Knowledge. They have been around for a while &amp; just amazing on so many fronts. The choice quote here:<p>&gt; <i>Although Lofgren said her proposed Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy Act &quot;preserves the open Internet,&quot; consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge described the bill as a &quot;censorious site-blocking&quot; measure &quot;that turns broadband providers into copyright police at Americans&#x27; expense.&quot;</i><p>Sort of sucks that California is a blue state whose politicians are reliably&#x2F;consistently&#x2F;predictably under the utter control of the movie industry! Not great! It&#x27;d be nice to see a progressive party that doesn&#x27;t have such major pro-control pro-capitalist tendencies.
