| Message | 2 and 3 are common sense 2: we have laws, we don't have these laws for nothing, they protect people and owners of certain copyrights. why don't we use those laws on the internet, internet should not be a world where everything is legal 3: If we ever have regulations on our domestic media they should apply on international media too. child abuse is not allowed, if in another country it is allowed to broadcast it and there is a station that wants to make money on it they can move just over the border and show it.. it's quite stupid, all stations could leave our country.. |
