Computers Can't Lie?
People might tell a lie. Computers don't. Because of this one fact the Internet might go extinct like the dinosaurs. This problem of Copyright infringement might end the Internet for everyone. So we all might lose. Before when everything was VHS tape you could not make as good a copy as the original. However, because of digital technology, all one needs is a good original to make literally millions of "Perfect Copies". Because of the easy capacity of piraters to make perfect copies because digital computers don't lie, we have an untenable situation where there is no way to stop perfect copies being made without killing the Internet completely. And even if the Internet was dead, millions and millions of pirated copies of everything would continue. There is only one way to stop digital pirating and that would be to destroy all digital technology. And that would be as ridiculous as SOPA and PIPA are in reality. And the problem is at core, "computers can't lie like people can."
