OG has spent years defending software/music/movie pirates. Encouraging people to disable DRM was one of his main hobbies at the Atari forums. It's not unreasonable to assume he's pirated software/music/movies at some point.
But I wasn't judging him on the issue at all.
I was pointing out that OG feels many copyright laws are stupidly implemented in the digital age. He feels they are so stupid we shouldn't judge people for ignoring them. So, I was expressing surprise that he would turn around and support a government's ham-fisted attempts to create unrealistic and stupid laws for privacy in the digital age.
Can you at least appreciate the point I was trying to make?
You are correct, that has been my point all along and what I've been trying to convey to Illusions. Google has hundreds of variables to a constantly-changing algorithm. I was just simplifying things to make this clear to Illusions. He was incorrectly arguing that a Facebook page will always be the highest-ranked link for a search simply because Facebook is a "popular" site.
You and I are both saying that's not true.
