  1. Re:lots of other victimless crimes to worry about. by gartogg · · Score: 5, Insightful · on Anti-P2P Law Looms over the Horizon

    OK, so I think that the entire idea is ridiculous, and spoke out against it. BUT: bypassing the networks sponsors is not QUITE a victimless crime, as the networks are losing money by it. I mean, it's fine to point out that the revenue model is outdated and will no longer work, or say that the advertisements should be moved to placements in the shows, but calling it victimless and comparing it to smoking pot is, well...

    I guess you could say it's typical of thinking on Slashdot. Never mind.

  2. Re:So, this means by nicholasbs · · Score: 2, Informative · on Savebetamax.org National Call-in Day

    How about Save the iPod?

    The Free Culture student movement is already running just that campaign: SaveTheiPod.com

    We've also launched a continuation of the campaign here: SaveThe.org

    So check out those sites, and then go to FreeCulture.org and join the international student movement for free culture.

    (If it isn't already abundantly clear, I'm part of the movement.)

  3. With INDUCE Act this will become a common story by BrianWCarver · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Lawsuits Force 321 Studios Out Of Business

    This shows the DMCA can be used by the MPAA/RIAA to put legitimate technology companies out of business. But they're hoping for another tool to do even more of this, and it's called the INDUCE act.

    Go to EFF's Action Center and savetheipod.com to take action! Let your Senators know that they should be supporting Rep. Boucher's DMCRA rather than INDUCE.

    We can turn the tide here if we take action!

  5. Do something about it! by GeorgeH · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Copyright Bill could Stifle Innovation

    You can email your senators or fax your senators and tell them to wise up.

    Or you can sit around and post comments on Slashdot that no one with the power to change things will ever read.

    Save The Ipod has good info on this topic.

  7. Write your Sentor by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative · on Senate Takes Aim At P2P Providers

    Our friends at the EFF have provided a handy online way of emailing or faxing(I suggest faxing) your sentor.

    The form can be found at http://action.eff.org/action/index.asp?step=2&item =2918

    Or you could use a sample letter produced by the Consumers Union, publishers of Consumer Reports, urging Congress debate the issue. A copy can be found at http://www.consumersunion.org/pub/0628%20InduceCon sumerLetter.pdf

    And finally a petition by Mac fans has also produced a sample letter, available at http://www.savetheipod.com/index1.php

    So instead just predicting a public outcry/backlash, help create the public outcry and backlash.

    Make your opinion and voice heard, damn it!
