Congress to Ashcroft: Go After Song Swappers

saikou writes "Yahoo has published a news about proposal of 19 lawmakers to prosecute P2P systems' users. Allthough Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith, said that FBI should not go for casual users but but instead to go after operators of "network "nodes", there is not enough info in the story to see if this "should" will change to "must in addition to", if or when trying to arrest major node operators fails to curtain song swapping online. Of course, questions of what to do about foreign users and foreign music are omitted. RIAA claps its hands. I guess we should expect network congestion because of users, downloading everything in their sight to beat this initiative."

  1. Ashcroft versus the JEWS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll
    Those filthy Jews, have you noticed how the Jews are at the forefront of those trying to restrict our rights?
    Know your enemy. Study this list of Jews trying to destroy your freedom:
    • Rosen
    • Coble
    • Berman
    • Eisner
    • Redstone
    The Jews never create anything. They are the parasites who wedge themselves between the producer and the consumer. The Jew takes a slice of every pie that passes by. What the Jew hates is that the Internet is cutting him off from his host. The artists can now distribute directly to their fans. The Internet has made the Jew irrelevant. So the Jew tries to buy the politician to do his bidding. The Jew tries to get bought politicians to pass bogus regulations in order to maintain Jew hegemony over the consumer.

    Listen and learn about the Jew in this mp3.

    How hard is it to figure out.
    Enron gave a bunch of money to republicans.
    The defense contractors gave a bunch of money to republicans.
    The studios gave a bunch of money to republicans.

    How much did you give?

    The common thread to all of this is Donald Rumsfeld.

    1. under nixon/ford/reagan: war on drugs
    2. under bush: war or terra, tied in with WOD
    3. soon under bush: war on pirates, ie nuke s-e asia, full spectrum dominance of the networks, via eschelon, carnivour, etc, a grab for global jurisdiction...

    and the whole time, sitting there right behind the wings is the perhaps the most evil man in the world, Donald Rumsfeld. This man who was described by Kissinger as a despot was Secretary for Defence under Nixon, Ford, Regan (by proxy) and Bush - think bombing of cambodia, think nicuragua, think the rise of suharto in indonesia and the US embassy supplied hit lists. As his official CV makes clear, he was CEO of some of the world's most evil companies and full time spook.

    His plan is so simple, yet so evil. Divide the world into the haves and have nots. kill the have nots or use them as slave labour, don't bother making death camps in kolma when you can have prison labour labelling underwear.

    the future for the haves is different. they must pay and pay for the privelidge of having.

    the have's are really just the cream of the have nots. they, by benefit of luck, some innate special skills or knowledge can seem like they have, even though their main daily activity is the generation of other people's wealth.

    there is of course the final elite group, the core cabal, illuminati, star chamber whatever. they have and like the man says, them that have get more. rupert, donny, bill (both of them), the georges charleses etc etc, and all those born to rule date rapists you hated at high school and university. these guys have robbed the whole world blind. they have murdered, stolen, lied, enslaved, violated and desacrated to further their own evil agendas. their agendas have a common goal, they are all in one way or anothers players of a huge game of risk.

    this is not a generational war, this is september 11 for your digital rights.

    we used to be able to drink water from a stream. now we must buy it in bottles. the guy busking in the local mall will be busted for music piracy, or be forced to pay an APRA fee if he plays covers of songs in order to get a licence to busk.

    the war on piracy is a protection racket, like the war on drugs and the war on terra.

    you now must pay top dollar to get

    • clean water
    • healthy 'organic' food
    • 'fresh', ie 'pollution free' air - often mistaken for cool air.
    • 'unspoiled' (ie by vast acres of self-similar housing developments, ads, human detritus,) wilderness
    • free (as in beer, marijuhana, nelson mandella) software and data.
    • i could go on but it's all just too upsetting.

    who would have kids in this day and age? they'd be chipped by 6 to protect them from predators lurking on the internet. a bluetooth/802.11/gps/dsp implant to monitor and protect your kiddie 24x7. chipped kids get more rights than unchipped kids, and by chipped think 50cc tablet swallowed before leaving the house, not a permanent implant. this thing will keep an eye on your little darlings for as long as it is in your system, and they then shit it out and need to take another one to be 'protected'. they'll cost a bucket and sell faster than viagra and to be sure, you'll give 'em one with every meal. and who was ceo of some of the world's biggest drugs companies and high-tech bio-surveillance technology companies? big don.
