      Kids are getting arrested after 3 warnings and made criminals for downloading. That is a very harsh outcome for something so deeply part of teen culture.
  • Taylor also criticises the use of restrictive methods like DRM, saying they are a failure, noting: "Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies – in other words, anti-copying, anti-fair use – are also anti-accessibility. They attempt to block and restrict, and they fail every time. Every single time."

  • • The essay has already got the internet talking with TorrentFreak, the online advocate for everything BitTorrent, explaining that more outspoken people like Taylor are needed to change the way companies approach piracy on the internet, explaining: "with pragmatic individuals like Alice Taylor speaking up for common sense and telling it how it is without all the usual corporate waffle, hopefully we can get there sooner rather than later."

        BitTorrent needs to be part of the IT systems. Need to research this--and other file-sharing methods.
