Howard Berman Talks About P2P Piracy Prevention Act

An anonymous reader writes "I know Rep. Berman is not held in high regard on Slashdot, but he has posted an article on Findlaw where he discusses his self- help for P2P piracy bill. He has not convinced me that this is about preventing theft, rather than preserving old business models, but the bill does appear to have a lot of safeguards built-in." I'm confused about what measures Berman believes would be acceptable, after reading the many disclaimers here.

    Carrot Top is the opposite of funny! Molesting elderly people with your big throbbing cock is funnier than an Carrot Top attempt at a joke.

    Typical jewish reaction: hurl accusations of antisemitism at any accusation; the opponent will be so busy in defending himself from being an antisemite that he'll promptly forget the initial debate.

    Won't work with me, buddy. I've seen jews barking at me before. Around here, Jews try that stunt all the time when they're given a traffic ticket. It doesn't work in a city whose mayor spent the war in a britshit concentration camp and was elected twice afterwards.

    The arabs are merely defending themselves against aggression. After all, they were there first (too bad the jews left long ago).

    When you look at the shitheaded way jews behave, particularly in the middle-east, you start getting hints about why, once in a while, someone comes along and starts bashing jews.

    After all, jews have a pretty old "civilization", so it's only normal that they behave like cavemen.
