Its coming one way or another. I am just surprised at how long it is taking. Personally, I think a lot of problems could be solved by eliminating the dmca and holding the hosting companies and board owners responsible for their content. Some may disagree with this as a restriction of freedom, but this freedom has been so badly abused that it needs to be removed. Either that, or governments need to surgically remove pirates and thieves.
