Do you really think that these corporations need to see spy on our forum talks before they realize how and what is being pirated?
The "don't talk about Usenet" idea has always been silly and really underestimates the tenacity of the ones who are fighting piracy. This is not done by the technically illiterate figurehead CEO of a company who needs reports about what DrillBlaster74 said on Reddit was the latest hype in the *arr family.
Any sufficiently effective way of pirating is on the radar of those that care, and no amount of hush hush tactics is going to change that. What we need is an intelligent approach to how these function and how we use them, not some pact to never talk about them.
I never said to stop talking about them. I said people who do pirate should stop openly telling people that they do so. To say there is nothing corporations and the government can do is downplaying their power. The senate already thinks the internet is a series of tubes. Let's not give them a reason to plug those tubes.
