    It's fine, but should lighten up on censorship.

    I wish they would stop violating my 1st amendment rights and let me decide for myself what to listen to and what to watch.

    I agree that the FCC sucks dick, hard. Mainly because that is their censorship is the reason cited by Dave Chappelle when asked why he left Comedy Central. Those pricks.

    I don't know about other media, but they're really strict on videogames.

    Little did they know you can just go on the Pirate Bay and download them. Not even having to pay.

    Lulwut?

    More like anti-government. Not only do they not stop me from playing the game, they don't even get the revenue from taxes of having the game. Although the bussiness kinda gets screwed.

    Since most games (especially PC) can be purchased online, sales tax is almost never a factor. Generally pirating just screws over the business, not the government.

    I believe the government would get a corporate gains tax or whatever it's called from the business revenue, wouldn't it?

    If you mean the capital gains tax, then no. The only tax that could apply in this circumstance is a sales tax, which for the most part don't exist over the internet.
