There is one part of the bit-torrent and free
download of music and movies that hasn’t been mentioned much, amazingly so.
It’s a major equalizer in so many areas.
It gives people that wouldn’t otherwise be
able to pay for experiencing music and movies a great opportunity to watch and
listen and not give a fuck about the inflated official prices set by wealthy
and oppressive movie moguls and record producers.
Giving them the finger is so much fun, on so
many levels. Recently, for instance the show The Blacklist was pulled from the
more law-abiding torrent sites because of yet another horrid court order, but I
just switched to a torrent provider that doesn’t give a shit about court orders
and was still able to download it.
There are still segments of the Internet
where lawlessness rules, where people reject unjust laws on a matter of
principle, and I love that, just fucking love that.
