Good day, Mr. Waddell, Ms. Downey. I would like to discuss piracy with you.
The aim of this bill is to counter organized piracy and illegal downloading. If the sole purpose of this public debate was to make consumers and the general public aware of the importance of respecting copyright and the works of creators, then I think it would be a big step forward.
I want to discuss organized piracy and Internet sites designed primarily to encourage peer-to-peer illegal downloading.
In your opinion, how should we deal with pirates? What damages should you be entitled to and should you reasonably expect to receive?
