    Filesharing = 5 years, $250,000 fine

    You can thank the recording industry for this one.

    http://www.wired.com/news/digiwood/0,1412,59654,00.html

    A new bill proposed in Congress on Wednesday would land a person in prison for five years and impose a fine of $250,000 for uploading a single file to a peer-to-peer network.

      Democrats!

      "The bill was introduced by Reps. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) and Howard Berman (D-Calif.)."

          So ridiculous. The punishment does not fit the crime. I'm very anti-piracy and I still think all these laws are idiotic.

                  Yeah, right. Like the Democrats are somehow more in the pockets of the indutry than the Republicans.

                      I'm sure somebody is working on some sorta annon type p2p as we speak. They will never be able to stop piracy.. They will keep making dumb shit laws and people will think of new ways to share files...

                              no kidding. but remember, it's not about traditional values anymore, but about money. and file sharing supposedly makes the big guys lose a lot.

                              fucking pathetic

                                  This REALLY pisses me off ,, alot. I have an ex who was raped by her grandfather for 3 years. he got 2.5 months and a restraining order was rejected by the judge. Someone should just plant pirated software in his house. he would be locked up for a long time then.

                                                  I think someone already released a superior version of Kazaa that keeps you anonymous.

                                                      Actually I think it is called Kazaa K++.

                                                                                              gotta be good for something. they can look up that username and will get different ips all the time.



                                                                                              anyway, next kazaa will have some more anonymos features i bet. but still, anyone sending you a file is showing their ip.

                                                                                                                  I just read about a guy that got life in jail for stealing $20... it was his third strike and he had multiple felony history, including voilence and drug dealing....


                                                                                                                  What I'm saying is, just because someone COULD go to jail for 5 years for uploading a single file, doesn't mean they WILL.
