Freedom of information

@JacobWalton
The Internet has been around for almost 20 years, and yet very few people seem to understand how it works. Every time someone makes some new form of art-a video game, a movie, or some music-it is posted online. However, in digital space, it is tremendously easy for people to pirate it. This often deprives the creator of a vast amount of monetary gain. To defend their art, many corporations have reacted violently to internet piracy. For example, many video game companies, such as Blizzard, now only allow their games to be played while connected to the internet, even if the player is playing alone. though it makes the game harder to steal, it leads to so many people being online at once that the server crashes, and then no one can play the game. I believe that companies have a right to protect their property, but they must find a way to do so without limiting the medium.
