Alright I have a hazy cloudy thought here, not sure if it has any value but...

Is there not a bit of kettle-calling-black here by using CP in an effort to stop unrelated piracy?

We've got 3 pages of comments here hoping to "use" CP as a weapon to stop something else, which is protecting our incomes.

Now maybe that's all fair and good, I'm not claiming anything.. Just seems like a tactic that's normally used against us, not by us? Is it not the same tactic that politicians, christians and anyone else who wants to control our way of life uses against us? Maybe not.. Maybe it's different this time.

But it does feel a tad disingenuous to be waging a war on CP without it actually being *about* the CP. If these sites just hosted MP3's and there were "CP" links (that may or not contain CP, let's remember, none of us are stupid enough (or masochistic enough?) to verify, would we have a dog in the fight? Would we "care"? I mean we all care, they're kids.. But would we care ENOUGH to get involved?

I dunno. I'm not forming an opinion, I'm just putting it out there for discussion. As DWB says, maybe it's time we stop playing fair anyways, and this could be the first step towards that.

Also, does it weaken our position that we can't even fight against the thing we're fighting against, but have to fight against something else to achieve our goals in a roundabout 2 birds 1 stone kind of way?

<--- my four year old liked these ones.
