Congress Asks Universities To Enforce Copyrights
Wes Felter writes "In CNet, Declan McCullagh writes that members of Congress are concerned that universities are not enforcing the 1997 No Electronic Theft Act which made simple copyright violations into a federal crime. Should universities be responsible for tracking down illegal sharing on their networks? Will ISPs be next?"
Because if the files you were exchanging were legitimate, you wouldn't need to use peer-to-peer systems like Gnutella...
Excuse me, but says you. Unless I missed the memo, since when did you become the spokesperson for the entire net community?
If I want to share stuff on P2P then thats my own business. Did you stop to consider that maybe the amount of stuff I want to distrubute may not warrent paying for web space? No, of course you didn't, because obviously if you wouldn't do it, why, no one would!
You are a fool, and I hope you realise how stupid you have made yourself appear.
Well, the liberals are attempting it with guns. At least in that case, there are big lobbies and corporations fighting against it, rather than for it.
