If you're not in the US, you probably won't care much about this article... for now (it'll all carry over if the contraversy doesn't get too high I'd say). But you'll probably enjoy reading it anyway.

Read the article HERE.

For it or against it, is that even a relevant question anymore? It doesn't matter what side you choose, I think everyone will agree that it now being punishable by 10 years in prison is completely insane. Rapists in some cases serve less time than that. It has officially become less punishable for someone to sell drugs (non-repeat offenders) than it is to download something.

An interesting thing in the article is that it says 'The NET Act targets noncommercial piracy including posting copyrighted photos, videos or news articles on a Web site if the value exceeds $1,000'. So it'd be possible for your average joe to get arrested or sued for posting a picture of a DVD case for reviews purposes?

Your thoughts?

I just paid $3.35 per gallon for gas. I spent that in Gas, to go to work, so I can sit and wait for more DMCA Violation Cease and Desist Letters that I get, all the time, for some j-off for hosting VBulletin in tgz format.

The Bush administration will tie everything they talk about with terrorism. Once Bush was talking about helping needy kids and he went off track and ended up talking about Iraq and freedom and terrorism.
 
Bush will be gone on election day... as for that Bill, I have to agree it's strict but lame. What are they going to do, throw a 10 yr old kid in jail? If it was an adult I understand... but some kids these days, don't understand fraud or jail time etc....

How much is a gallon in litres? because its about £1 for a litre here.
 
You sure? Because i just found this on wikipedia:
US liquid gallon is 231 in³ (exactly) or 128 fl oz (exactly) or 3.785411784 L
meaning we pay $6.80 / gallon.

Sorry for off-topicness :p
