Hmmm... A tool that helps look for coyright ingringing files...

How hard can it be to create a tool that does a
search for *.avi; *.mpg; *.mov; *.WMV; *.asf
and then just say all of it is in copyright violation?? If they want MY trust for such a tool then OPEN SOURCE IT, so I/we can see if there is any questionable internet related coding in it!? (Like I'm gonna take the word of some piss-ant entertainment executive???)
You don't trust anybody, why should anybody trust you???

How about simply reduce the price of everything to a REAL world level so people won't use piracy to work around ridiculous entertainment prices.

The entertainment industry is faaaar to top-heavy.
It's the ridiculously high-priced beaurocrats and executives in the MPAA, and RIAA that keep the prices of everything out of the reach of average people.

WE'LL CHANGE WHEN YOU BLOODY CASH-HUNGRY EXECS CHANGE!!!
