     We are not talking about handouts.
 
     We are talking about POLICE ENFORCEMENT AT THE POINT
OF A GUN to secure copyrights.

     You need to consider and understand 3 concepts.

    1.) Total Traceability, no anonymity
    2.) Total Moderation
    3.) Total Sniffability, No Encryption

     If you think that no anonymity, total moderation and no
encryption are a good thing, then you will think copyrights are a good
thing, for *ONLY* with these three things in place can copyrights be
enforced.

     If you think that untraceable anonymity, no moderation and
unbreakable encryption is a good thing, then copyrights are dead,
period.

     So are you building the new police state or the new group
consciosness?  Which is it?

     There are no police in heaven.
