I may be in the minority here but even though I'm no fan of the arrogant and backwards RIAA, I don't think taking away the consequences of stealing music is something to celebrate.

There is a defeat in this though, in that Verizon tried to argue the DMCA, and the courts did not want to touch that.

I wouldn't say you are in the minority amongst conservatives, maybe amongst libertarians who think they should have the liberty to steal music online.

I don't think taking away the consequences of stealing music is something to celebrate.The consequences have not changed. All that's happening is that the same subpoena processes are going to have to be applied as in the allegation of any other crime.

I don't think taking away the consequences of stealing music is something to celebrate. Copyright violation isn't stealing.
