Scared animal

Basically we all have seen it, terrified animals who act against their rational nature and behave without any understanding of their action, human and "animals"(we are animals also and in several ways behave like them). The dog that has been terrified act in two way, either he covers, retreat with his tail between his legs, crawling into his safe corner wishing for it all to go away. Feeling completely powerless he hopes for nothing more then the bad thing to go away, wishing more then anything else, if he was capable of wishing.

Or, if hes trained, he goes full out, all muscles are tense, ready for anything, anything that might come against him, be it a cat or a tiger, he is ready. No matter the threat, he will attack and do his best to defend his area. For, no matter what anyone says, it's his. His alone and no one shall ever intrude on it! When the threat appears, he attacks without any thought about what it is nor its consequences. There are only two extremes in this battle, my way or the threats way, but 'I shall be damned if that ways win'. So, without any reflection of the consequences, the dog will attack whatever appears. With only a fraction of the shadow the dog attacks...

This is where we stand today regarding filesharing. The dog is the anti-piracy part, the shadow is those who are a part of the internet and its file sharing culture. What is not told from above, is the size of the shadow, for as in reality, the shadow in also unknown. There is no exact number of all the file shares, nor their power. It might be nothing but a shadow, yet there is a chance its one of the greatest being ever seen in our society. The result of the battle remains to be discovered, but I ensure you, the anti-piracy doesn't have a clue what they are up against.

We live in interesting times...
