Re: Blocked? CENSORED.
@Yet Another - well Canada censors government funded scientists who don't toe the party line, so I'm hardly surprised.
The "slippery slope" is not a good argument, and neither is the petulant "I wanna download stuff for no charge. Waah!"
What is a good argument is "The current copyright terms are too one-sded and do not balance the cost to society against the cost of the original creator [or however you wish to phrase it] and my alternative is [insert brilliant idea here]".
Let me be clear, I do not like the extensions to copyright, the official rubber-stamping of cartels (RIAA et al), DRM, region-locking and other barriers to free-trade. But If ones doesn't base one's argument on a credible base, it will soon be undermined.
