Copyright Czars

[owsf2000]

Congrats. The USA now has it's own Copyright Czar for seizing the homes and property of copyright infringers. This will end badly no matter how you look at it. This bill apparently passed the same way the DMCA passed for you guys. It got brought up within a month of a major election and all the politicians pretty much blindly voted in favor of it to avoid having the media tear them apart during the campaign trail. (As it's major media corporations that spoon fed them both bills.)

And of course, the media has almost NO coverage of this important freedom-destroying bill, just like the DMCA.

I can't wait for the inevitable report of someone having their property seized for illegal downloads despite them not having nor ever having had an account with ISP.

Oh sorry. I didn't realize Survivor was on. I'll be quiet.

I'm sure he'll just sign anything his party feeds him through congress personally. He's avoided taking any official stand against the democrat party on these issues already by NOT voting whenever these things came up. That way the things can slide through into law, but he can turn around and say "HEY! ... I didn't vote for that."
