Do you download illegally?

[(oYo)]

Do you foolishly admit to crimes on the internet? 

This is why I didn't answer this thread originally. After some thought on the matter I concluded my ISP (NSA, ECHELON, etc.) knows everything I do on the internet. 

I pirate everything from Windows 8.1, MS Office, Adobe Photoshop, Final Cut X, console games, ROMs, Movies and Music

I lol at anyone who still pays for movies or music these days

Me too. 

NSA knows everything? So what? What will they do?

Obviously you cater to the argument,  "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear."

The NSA doesn't simply collect information. They share such info with other agencies that make assumptions and act on said info. We should worry about this because government agencies have a well-established track record of overreaching, exceeding their authority and abusing the law. Even when not acting nefariously, people could make errors or be careless with your info, which may result in wrongful assumptions about you or identity theft.

Why Privacy Matters Even if You Have 'Nothing to Hide'

No, I mean how they can arrest millions of people?

It's most likely we will only be fined but, if you really want to know how they can arrest millions of people, the USA is tirelessly looking for ways make people out to be terrorists (oops, it's been updated to extremists). Piracy could be near the bottom of a list of many reasons for which they finally decide to declare martial law and begin filling their FEMA camps. At this point it's more a matter of 'when', rather than 'how'.

It's impossible to declare martial law. People will make revolution.

I bought only one music cd in my life, in 2002, in Dublin.

Sounds like a story to tell your children. 

Kids.. one time your father was in Dublin and he purchased..... a CD!!
