I'm not advising anyone to do this nor do I support it myself, but I was wondering how many years there will be roughly before the government over powers the internet and prevents games being pirated fully?

1) It wouldn't be just OUR Goverment. The whole world would have to jump in and bring it all down. Some countries don't have the man power to deal with that kind of stuff.

2) Even if torrents were brought down someone somewhere would make a better more secure program. I mean it all started with Napster, then Kazaa, and may others then finally Torrents came too and really made it blow up. There are programs to help protect those who use torrents, even though speculation is if they really do even help.

The only reason why I may be able to think of a program, and not find a cracked/hacked/serial gen for it is probably because the program has so little popularity that no one wants to spend the time on it. Take the latest FarCry 4 for example. There was leaked Pirated copies. Then people posted "It sucks! There is not POV Slider!" and they pretty much showed themself as a cracked copy because the legit game for a first day patch to fix that but of course there is now a cracked update for that. Others were like Crysis 3. The orginal Cracked Copies you couldn't beat the boss no matter what. The there was a fix for that.

So in the end, honestly, I don't think it will even stop. Or as long as the economy is as shitty as it is. People can spend 60 bucks on a game so what do they do? Download a pirated copy.

I bolded the fundamental flaw in your analogy. The internet is global, government is not, thank God. It's up to each nation to come up with their own internet laws. Therein lies the problem. Globally there is no such thing as the government.

Right now huge conglomerates and the World Trade Organization are pushing hard for TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership), which would somewhat regulate trade between the US and Europe.

Since a LOT of buying is done online now, this could easily affect the internet as well. These are things that governments and huge corporations generally don't organize well, and when they do, it tends to favor the upper class.

SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) has failed numerous times due to conflicts of interest, gray areas in laws, and differing opinions. Some feel TTIP is a last ditch attempt to internationally regulate everything from trade to the net in one fell swoop.

Just keep in mind if TTIP passes it will likely be regulated by the WTO, whom became internationally infamous after the "Battle in Seattle riots. Since then the WTO has not allowed any civilians within a two mile radius of their summit meetings.

This is what the rich do when civilians protest, they distance themselves. The WTO are not for the people, they are in spite of the people. The days of Guy Fawkes are long gone. Now a days corporations and governments swat protesters and rioters like flies before they can even attempt to stop their "progress".

It doesn't, yet, it hasn't even passed. No one knows yet how TTIP will be implemented or regulated, or if it will even pass, but I do know TPB is advocating against passing TTIP just as much as they did SOPA.
