hehe, I voted for it too ;-)

Well, let's see. Everyone needs to do what they can to slow down [rectal orifices] like the RIAA who think simply because they control the music industry that they control the sounds my computer makes. Personally I see it as an invasion of privacy and a red flag when it comes to the destruction of basic rights and freedoms.

That being said, have you ever been to court? Have you ever had to pay a lawyer? Do you have any idea how much MONEY that costs? Be smart. The RIAA will go bankrupt if they have to chase every single person around to prove something, spending thousands of dollars in lawyer fees to persecute someone for a million dollars, who only has $5 to their name.

Not to mention, hackers who care about keeping information free, should find ways to create 'fake' limewire queries or whatever, so you can say "Well how do you know what you saw was real or not?" Confuse the matter, then watch how you manage your resources.

If you get a letter saying you're going to jail for software piracy. "Lose" your old hard drive. Where did it go? It stopped working, you replaced it, and it went in the garbage. Hopefully you throw it out before you get a subpoena otherwise you might get in a bit of trouble ;-P

Anyways, I'm not going to panic until people in my country start seriously getting persecuted. I share a few files, sometimes a lot, sometimes nothing; not terrabytes worth. Although I would really love to, (it's fun) I'm not going to take too many risks.

I'm sure my life won't be ruined if I had a few copywritten songs on my computer that were identified as being 'shared', but omfg. EVERYONE does this. It's like prohibition. You can't enforce a law the general public would be dead against.

The people who are pushing for this whole idiotic ban of the internet are the [non-bifurcated after exhaust vents] running / working for the major corporations that make billions of dollars off sellign propaganda to 12 year old girls/boys and getting them to spend all their parents money buying some stupid britney spears/nsync nonsense. Considering the techniques they use to sell and inspire desire for their products, I'm not really going to feel bad about making things difficult for them.

Welcome to the new war.

The word for today is
