Bill Would Let FBI Police File-Sharing

Posted by timothy on from the what-would-liddy-do dept.

vnguyen6 writes "According to an article on MSNBC, a bill introduced in the Senate gives the FBI power to police file sharing. As if the FBI didn't have their own messes to clean up such as the handling of pre-911 intelligence, FBI agents turned spy (Robert Hanssen), the Los Alamos lab debacle, double agent Mrs. Katrina Leung, need I say more?"

    .. And I wonder what sophisticated monitoring techniques the FBI would use to filter out those individuals who grossly leech tons of files, and those who just happen to be sharing within their fair use rights among friends, and those who just happen to have a library of legally-obtained copyrighted files.

    youre a faggot.

    I have come to the conclusion that those silly liberals are all either faggots, college students, or people who were sexually molested as children. (or some combination thereof)

    The solution to these problems is to send all the fucking chinks back to China and not allow them in fucking government jobs.

    And what is wrong with inforcing the rights of copyright holders?
    Ok so now you don't feel safe about downloading your kiddy porn of kazaa because the feds are on the case, but there is no need to cry about it. 15 years ago when you first started listening to music you didn't expect it for free you should not expect it for free now.

    Just because the labels are evil that is really no justtification. If you feel strongly against the labels buy from indipendent artists. Don't whinge about Corporatism and don't pimp the ideas of a tyrant.
