This fucking pisses me of beyond all fucking belief. The government really needs to sit the fuck back and stop letting companies write laws for them.
Yes, I AM FUCKING MAD. See ya in Sweden.
I skimmed but i don't get it.
I would read it but my torrent of Scott Pilgrim is almost done.
You made me grin for once.Quote:

Its cool. Because its international the US Senate has to ratify it for it to affect the US and its doubtful they'll touch it since its election season. If dems. loose majority then Obama can't push his internet shit through.
Best thing we can all do is just keep doin what we are doin.
Can they already see that YYZ is torrenting a movie illegaly?
Yup.
Can they already sue him for lots and lots of money and send him to jail?
Yup.
Do they?
No.
They do it on occasion, to some poor sap, sue him for way more money than he ever stole, and make a huge example out of him, just to try and scare us.
What happens when they start trying to arrest half of America? Well, they'll have to build more jails. Where's the money coming from? Taxes. Who are the taxes coming from? Nobody, they just arrested everyone.
What they are planning on doing will be impossible in a large scale.
huh..Guess its time to switch to freenet/tor ...oh wait.. I already did :D
i actually enjoyed reading this ^^Quote:

Download CD, technically making a copy, and not decreasing availability at all, and not sharing it with anyone, charged 500,000 and years of jail time.
thats way to true dude. the internet fines and punishment crap is way to overrated
Its like that becuase their logic (Courts/Companys) goes:Quote:

When in reality it is (everyone elses logic):
"Oh he might not be able to afford that CD, but he really loves that artist and has bought other CDs of similar. All he is doing is keeping it for himself, not sharing or selling. Not too much harm done, $10 or soo in lost profits for a Multi-billion dollar company...
