Narc prosecutor? Have you done an AMA yet, or have you considered doing one? That could be interesting...

EDIT: the "fresh" AMA is indeed live now and can be found here:

You are saying you want to end the war on drugs, I assume that goes for all drugs and calls for sensible legislation for the so-called "hard drugs" as well.

Don't you think the marijuana legalization is a dangerous route to go down? A pyrrhic victory in the long run, so to speak?

Once legalization on a federal level is attained, the entire movement for a reform of drug laws will lose the majority of its momentum.

The war on drugs would very likely not end, but just continue with all available resources built up over the years shifting to combat other "illicit" drugs, like cocaine, meth, amphetamine or designer drugs and psychedelics. Now, it is hard to argue in favor of garage meth labs, and there will not be very many people rallying publicly in favor of their "hard" drug of choice, because it's not fashionable to snort ketamine etc.

Under the assumption that the majority of drug problems that can affect an individual user or addict are somehow rooted in the illegality of the substance, I can only see the legalization of pot as a very bad slow-down or even a deterrent to an across-the-board repeal of the current drug legislation.

What is your take on this? Something along the lines of: "We fought so long and so hard, and we will take what we can get, because the injustices that go along with people beng sentenced for cannabis are just as real and happen far too often, so we think it is the sensible thing to do?"

Lo-Def streaming sucks. Which nzb crawlers can you recommend?

Seriously, that is my only question to anyone embedded deep in "the piracy scene" these days. I applaud you guys, in a way, cause everyone can use your site, and this ensures that the nerdy guys are not constantly pestered by Joe and Jane Everyone begging to get them $OVERHYPED_BLOCKBUSTER or $CRAPPY_POPMUSIC but personally I have not endured a single movie or series episode on movie2k or predecessors. I'll get back to you once I can stream 1080p with surround sound, other than that I am happily paying a nntp provider for the privilege of enjoying decent BR rips long after the micdubbed cinema camrips have been enjoyed by the stream crowd.

Am I alone with this?
