“Whether it’s the PirateBay blocking, the CCDP snooper’s charter, or the latest idea for a porn morality filter, it seems like traditional parties just don’t get it – and people are starting to realize that you can’t just ignore this stuff, it really does have an impact on freedoms, civil liberties and innovation. That’s why the Pirates, both here in the UK and worldwide, are attracting more and more support.

“We’ve given people new ways to communicate but nothing worth saying. I wish people understood the difference between data and information. The fact that it’s easy, fast, and cheap doesn’t mean that it’s valuable.”

The Church decreed in 1543 that no book could be printed or sold without permission of the church. Then in 1563, Charles IX of France decreed that nothing could be printed without the special permission of the king. Soon other secular rulers of Europe followed suit. Consequently, European rulers used systems of governmental license to print and publish to control scientific and artistic expressions that they perceived potentially threatening to the moral and political order of society.”

These individuals should be prosecuted for the damage they do to society and for preying on the weak.
Techniques like the ones I teach on HypnoticSales.co.uk should NEVER be used for such purposes.
A tool is a tool. Some people use tools to build things. Others use them to destroy such things.
