RIAA Abandons Hacking Amendment
CJMClark writes "Looks like the RIAA has come to its senses (partially, at least). This update on Wired News apparently indicates that the RIAA has decided to back down from its earlier proposed amendment that would allow copyright owners to be absolved of responsibility for collateral damage due to hacking into an individual's PC to delete copyrighted files."
This has gotta be fictitious.
People like you are what ruin this world. You live to control and manipulate the lives of others. Driven by greed and the desire for power. Why make a war of drugs anyways? Idiots like you made the market for terrorists to sell us drugs. You gave them the money, not the adicted freak who would have rather paid an American and tax to support our push for peace. Take your zealot sense of morality and new found nationalism and send it to /dev/null. I was an American and a Patriot long before 9/11. You may be an American, but you do not love freedom. This is my computer, and my GNU software. I will defend it as I defend my freedom, and this is my right. You sir missed your calling to work for Microsoft. Don't bother with an application to the CIA or NSA, they have higher ethical standards. Well, maybe not, but I can hope. MP3 will be the death of the recording industry, or at least highly limit it, they cannot stop it. I wont accept any technology that tries to, and I'm sure Microsoft will find this true of thier customers with XP. Never seek control over another, for it is a crime against humanity.
