Comment on Movie industry demands US law requiring ISPs to block piracy websites

  If you’ve promised to not copy to get what you copy - it’s quite close.

  You never promised to not copy anything. You were given a copy, are allowed to create copies, but agreed to not distribute copies for income.

  Since you prefer to be pedantic while ignoring the overarching theme.

    With software you accept an EULA. It’s just a technicality due to the law being in place with books and movies, so it’s implicitly considered your obligation there, which is, I agree, not nice.

    You’ll just have an EULA for books and movies to accept.

    Your arguments for that situation?

      Except when you didn’t even agree to EULA. For example you buy laptop that comes with windows preinstalled and dump disk without launching windows. Or you use public computer(for example in library). In neither examples EULA was accepted.
