congress to ban P2P file sharing
 

Bastards.

Interesting approach ...
"those sharing more then 2500 pieces of information"

Something needs to be done.
I'm always hesitant about new legislation though.

Won't pass.

i bet they'll feel a little stupid when they have 500k new 14 years olds in the court system and then have to get re-elected with votes from those kids parents.

lol
that's about it.

even if it passes. on a global scale thats surely unenforceable

p2p will never die

p2p is eternal it's the cockroach that comes back as one and multiplies as 4,000 .

They can't do anything, there's too many users!

that site just screams trust worthy news

It is always a slippery slope when you start calling the people who elected you criminals.

It really seems as if the word 'Proactive' has been removed from all of the dictionaries in Washington.

We wonder why america is violent and overweight. Too many sticks... not enough carrots.

Shennanigans!

It won't hold up in court. The issue of the legality of P2P network has already been decided in Appeals Court since there are legal uses of file sharing.

I wonder how that will play out....

Got warez biatch?

I share
10 314 files, 671 folders - 71,6 GB
Am I going to jail now? :waaaaahh

(Its only freeware and shareware) :thumbsup

why does congress have such a thrill for wanting to put everyone in prison? are they really closet sadists/rapists?
