The Current Generation of the Grand Theft Auto series do in fact meet the qualifications. The game skin throws you off, but the structure is very similar. The only major difference is that there are subchapters in plot instead of just chapters.
Your ignorance and oversimplified reasoning is woeful. If banks left their vaults on locked and didnt enforce theft, you would bet your ass that people would filling their fat pockets with wads of $100s. If someone makes something and wants to charge a dollar amount you cannot say no and just take it.
Your argument of people doing it right is irrelevant. They choose to sell it one way, and other artists choose another. You as a consumer can have an opinion as to which way is most effective, but you cannot decide how they distribute.
Think of a bank that CANNOT have an effective vault because there is technology available that allows people to walk through solid matter.
You could outlaw (or make difficult to use, restrict its features) the walk-through-walls technology. Or you could just stop clinging to your old idea of what a bank or a vault is.
The bigger point is that Google has put the cart before the horse. Before they start piling on their superior features Google + needs a killer app or an identity. I wrote a longer thought but it looked crappy in the comments. http://bit.ly/rD59uE
If Google understands what's at stake hear, they need to stage a "government backed hijacking of their search engine" for a couple hours during peak business with a written statement explaining the evil of the bill.
If this is so devastating why doesnt Google do a "mock seizure" in which there search engine is seized by the government. They cant out influence Hollywood, but they sure can cause a ruckus online.
Email is not a good way to reach your Congressman. They get too much of it to address, and most of it is automated. Call, send a letter, or visit in person.
Don't get sucked into defeatism. The system is designed to be able to ignore the average person, sure, but here's the thing: you're not the average person.
Be smart, be motivated, and figure out how things actually work. Then apply the maximum amount of force to the place it can do the most good.
I'm not sure that place is actually phone calls, but there's a reason phone calls are suggested so often. They do work. You might be able to find something better though and if you do let us know.
Edit: Well that was dumb. I replied from memory without reading the thread again. I totally agree about email.
If you hit them where they live (personal Emil addresses and public facing forums) at least they will have to respond. These people are elected to represent the public if they aren't responding during their normal work day, we have a right to pester them until they respond.
