I don't pirate, but I still don't like the idea of the content of my traffic being constantly analyzed, getting harassed with false positive notices due to software bugs, or due to legitimate sites accidentally having copy written material, or not honoring fair use correctly, or legitimate downloading of a game from a small studio with little bandwidth using BitTorrent, paying $35 review fees and talking to Comcast customer service any more than I absolutely have to.

Somehow this reminds me of getting carded at a CVS store when buying an extended BIC lighter for lighting BBQs. When I expressed surprise, I was told it's because I could use it to light a cigarette.

I feel like I'm living in the movie Idiocracy... http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/idiocracy/trailers/
