In an internet-ubiquitous world, the idea of restricting the flow of data -- any data -- is basically a magical fantasy of those who understand neither the technology nor its sociology. The Pirate Bay will be back in a day or two tops.

I wonder how much longer people will keep trying to put the information genie back in the bottle?

" is basically a magical fantasy of those who understand neither the technology nor its sociology."

Ever hear of steam, MMO's, F2P? They've started with backend chaining of software, they are going to try to turn everything into "cloud based" bullshit to as much as they can do it.
