Hi guys, I just wanted to call out an inappropriate term I’ve seen used sometimes: Civil Disobedience. It’s not just civil disobedience when you pirate something privately, you need to do it publicly and dare the authorities to do something about it.

So an example here would be to set up a massive leech party and advertise it specifically as civil disobedience. Say all manner of things from all manner of copyright holders would be transmitted, and try and get news coverage. That’s civil disobedience.

Just downloading a movie because you want to watch it is not. OK thanks for your time.

    +1. I was giving an example but you really need everyone involved to sit down and think through the way things are going to work. Every successful act of civil disobedience is thoroughly planned out.
