To Tdude1196,
Hey Tdude,

No one should live in fear or without freedom. But I would not want someone coming to my house, taking one of my paintings and calling it theirs. I don't agree with Piracy. Artists should get paid for their craft. I agree some are more overpaid than others. But its our choice as a consumer to watch or not, go see it in the theaters or wait till it comes out on TV. Steal a song or listen to it on the radio. Thats what this fight is about, OUR CHOICE. Tdude, that is my personal opinion. I am not attacking yours or judging. 99.9% of my friends and family download movies. I am no one to criticize their eye patch and hook. Look at design I just did! Its a copy of a Warhol who copied it from a product designer at Campbell, who probably copied some elements from another artist.

The sad part is that the government is using the excuse of piracy to implement censorship equivalent to those in China, North Korea,Venezuela and Cuba. Political systems that go completely against what this country was founded on. Many have died for the freedom we hold so dearly. We boast that our country is the poster-child for freedom. But if the federal government continues increasing their hold on our lives, in time not too far, we will not be any better than the Dictatorship/Communist extremist states previously mentioned. I grew up in a country were all media was regulated. Only 2 TV channels and all programing was government approved propaganda. I know different, that's why I fight. So hopefully none of you have to live scared of what the government might do to you for excising your freedoms.

Tdude, Thank you for giving me a platform in witch to express and define my stand. I appreciate your comment and fighting spirit. Some of us have to live vigilant so most can lie dormant.
