Anti-Piracy advocates remind me of people who are strongly "anti-porn."
"The Internet's biggest social failure has been that it has served as enabling technology for rampant cheating and theft - and the rationalization of it. The Internet makes stealing so easy that most people don't even think about it." - From a blog exposing Bill Gates' pirate viewings of the Harlem Globetrotters on YouTube. Oh, the horror.
Similar moral soliloquies often come from anti-porn politicians; the same politicians who get twenty dollar rimjobs in alleyways down the block from their public appearances. The perceived moral position of these people is often extremely hard line and way beyond balanced and reasonable, and one always gets the feeling that as soon as we, the public, turn away from them, that they run off and engage in the vices they whined about twenty minutes earlier. Perhaps this crusade-like moral slant is more guilt than fear.
Also, back from Burning Man. My social, environmental, pornographic, and financial bubble here in Marin is very surreal in comparison to the one I enjoyed in the Nevada desert.
