When people make a product they have to realize that we''re in the digital age. There's GOING to be sharing and pirating going on regardless of what rules they try to put in place. It won't even slow the pirates down or hinder them. In fact, it'd probably antagonize them to do it on a larger scale to fight the system.
What "more vicious crimes" are you referring to? Anything federal? Unless you're referring to federal crimes, that's completely irrelevant. The internet isn't divided by state. Alabama can't lock someone up for piracy; it's not in their jurisdiction, while other irl crimes are. You might as well criticize Russia for not applying Brazilian laws.
Using "the digital age" is the most bullshit excuse. Blaming technology for criminal activity is just so crazy stupid I can't even form a proper argument asdafsdafsdafsdaf
