| Message | We oppose article 1 as it will strengthen the power of the state and make it more difficult for our people to share copyrighted material. We have mixed feeling about article 2 - while there is some content it's better for children not to see we have to realise that they're certain to come across it anyway even if it is restricted to a certain time so it's probably not worth limiting the choices of TV cooperatives and their viewers. |

| Message | The problem with the LSE's 'feelings' is that if all of their freelance socialists (read: thieves) are given carte blanche to steal whatever they wish, there won't be any new copyrighted material left to steal. What if we never prosecuted bank robbers, who could break into any vault without punishment? Who would then bother to build a bank ever again? That is what police are for, to protect the property that people have earned. The League agrees with article 1. However it is not the government's job to police morality. Broadcasters should be free to show whatever content they wish. Remove article 2. |
