"So are you willing to take that risk?"

Yes, we are, you fat fuck.

[froobly]

Is it just me, or does this video have nothing to do with darknets?

[Damaruth]

you can never ever stop piracy. Start making good movies and I probably will go watch them in the theaters. 21 century movies are mostly shit nowadays.

"A large chunk of what we do is fight piracy" well, don't fight it and you won't lose 5 billion a year. dumb bitch

while the video was interesting I feel that it does give compelling reasons to have Darknet yet it doesn't seem to explain the actual future of the darknets.

Lol.. that chingy is a fucking idiot. Knows nothing..

[astormboy]

This isn’t so much about darknets as it is about the reason for darknets. This is about preventing the MPAA and the RIAA and software companies from continuing to warp and abuse the original intent behind copyright and intellectual property right law.

[Reichiruu]

That was so.. not about darknets.

[ChouangDsi]

at least they're honest about their motives and activities.

@froobly depends on your definition of darknet, but no, not really. The freenet founder was, but that was like three seconds. The rest were referring to a really hazily defined darknet, which includes any website on which users exchange potentially illegal content. Fuck this video, lame.

[NetPatriot]

Damn I'd have laughed more of this few years ago.

[machiinate]

Lol. This isnt the future there isnt many ways that they could stop file sharing and they wont be able to do it with all the money in the world sueing people.
