Setting aside this lawyer's idea of a new legal strategy, I have a slightly off topic comment: I am getting tired of hearing people talk at parties, etc. about grabbing/stealing stuff via bit torrents.

While I don't like the MPAA and the clout that they have, it also works the other way: people stealing media are also screwing over those of us who are willing to pay for Netflix streaming, etc.

I think that people who steal media content turn a blind eye to the harm they cause other Internet users. This is selfish behavior that is spilling over into bad political actions and government policy.
