Eugene: Nyaaaaa! Pembry, your comparison of electronic file sharing to Prohibition or the War on Drugs is inapt. The prohibition of the drug and alcohol trade made a highly profitable product illegal, and criminal organizations were incentivized to exploit those markets to make huge profits. By contrast, there already is a highly profitable market for the legal sale of music and entertainment. Criminal enterprises do not have a market to exploit to reap huge profits. The very nature of file sharing is the free exchange of a product. And the forces behind it simply cannot compete with their opponents, highly profitable and powerful industries that wish to sell their products for profit.
Pembry: The fuck you say to me, nerd? I got a 5 on the AP American History exam!
Gap: He is pretty much right. Do you know even the slightest thing about file-sharing?

Pembry: Errr...
