Kazza We Need Your Support...

TSIF Go away!

Pzombie just scared the shit out of me! I must go now, I have to delete all of my files and uninstall k-lite.

I can't communicate with you guys. I replied with that when blizzard said kazza will be around forever, My point was not if the law is passed. I'm for filesharing(I'm not trying to scare anybody) like I said before I'm boycotting the RIAA, but we need some corporations or musicians to step up and support this, or else we're not gonna win this. Now everyone must agree with that, right? We need to reach the public with this issue, and a bunch us so called "pirates" isn't appealing to the media!

okay I found the link, heres a quote:

"The Conyers-Berman bill would operate under the assumption that each copyrighted work made available through a computer network was copied by others at least 10 times for a total retail value of $2,500. That would bump the activity from a misdemeanor to a felony, carrying a sentence of up to five years in jail."

In my opinion this will never get passed but there's always a chance.
so if your sharing a substantial amount of files like me...you would be facing a felony.
there are several other proposed laws this was the first I happened to see. one proposing a felony for 1 illegally shared file.

Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

Anyway that bill is fucking bullshit. Fighting mp3 piracy as an all out war will be just about as effective as the War on Drugs. Put a bunch of people in jail and only increase the problem.

yes like i said I don't think the bill will get passed either. There are other laws being proposed too, none of which will become a law in my opinion.
