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.

The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed the scheduled markup of the Internet censorship bill — a fantastic outcome, given that the entertainment industry and their allies in Congress had hoped this bill would be quickly approved before the Senators went home for the October recess. Massive thanks to all who used the EFF Action Center to write to your Senators to oppose this bill.

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.

Also, anybody think about this:

Steal a CD from Wal-Mart, pay fine, possible week or two of jail time.
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.
