It looks like someone finally turned on the light. After years of trying to chase down people with pirated content, charging music downloaders, and making public service announcements that equate downloading a movie to stealing a car. I dont disagree with any of that, but its not solving anything.
They report that nearly 40 percent of the world’s pirated movies are recorded in New York theaters, and Mayor Bloomberg has had enough. The city will start using public nuisance laws to prosecute the owners of buildings where movie pirates organize and sell their counterfeits. The idea seems to be to take way the places where pirates hide, and in doing so make them easier to catch.
That’s not all though. Bloomberg plans to push the New York state legislature to enact stiffer penalties against scumbags who sneak cameras into theaters. He wants it made a felony for repeat offenders.
So they are going to the source. Cut off the head and the body will die!
Teaching these values in schools and through groups like boyscouts might illustrate the difference between right and wrong, but it doesnt stop them from doing it. They told me about birth control in highschool and I still ended up with two kids.
Mandatory Vasectomies at age 14! This will solve the teen pregnancy problem!!!
Ok, so not every solution can apply to every problem. But its a good start in the right direction.
