Default SCARY Legislation

Crazy IP Legislation

Reading this this morning, I was literally chilled. It's like it comes straight from the mouth of the recording industry, almost. Shockingly, the proposed legislation will attempt to make "attempted" copyright infrigement criminal and punishable with heavy fines, with a maximum of a LIFE sentence if fully carried out. Indeed, the law comes with other great police incentives like endowing them with the power of asset forfeiture of any equipment used to violate that copyright. Oh, and the best part? After seizing imported or exported items that violate these new copyright rules, Homeland Security would be required to alert the RIAA.




Maybe Canis IS right.
