Hacker News Reader

I feel like someone in the Ars newsroom mixed up their headlines. I thought I was about to read an article about protecting user privacy. What I read instead is an article about to billion-dollar giants having a pissing contest over the oh-here-we-go-again piracy argument. Did Lars Ulrich secretly write this?

Oh Ef, might be time to check the prescription on my glasses again. I misread "piracy" as "privacy" in the headline. Apologies to Ars (but not Lars).

Still, are we able to have an honest conversation about one without closely examining the other?

I misread it the same way.

If ISPs are responsible for piracy though, they could be for privacy as well!
