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?"

    Al Quaida have carried another attack. 3000 dead. FBI agents plan to carry out a full investigation shortly after they jail 14 year old Tommy who is suspected of piracy and crimes against public decency. "Sicko baby" said Officer Pat "He was redistibuting filth, including a full Madonna CD. Makes me want to vomit." Asked to comment on the new Al Quaida atrocity, Pat said "Its just another couple of planes. Been there and seen that before. First, we gotta take down Suzy in Queens first - word on the street is that she's sharing hard-core Justin Timberlake! We gotta protect the kids from that threat."

    Welome to the land of the free and home of the brave.

    The FBI is not the "elite" agency they claim. In three years they couldn't find Eric Rudolph, supposedly (at one time) "enemy number one". It took a local beat cop to do the job.

    Its telling that the most auspicious factoid regarding the FBI is that their former leader used to wear dresses.

    I've come to expect my music for free and like squatters rights ive earned that right from years of not buying music. Denying me my free music is denying me my lifestyle.

    Oh, you mean the Net's global? And the FBI would be getting a lot of that juris-my-dick-tion crap from other countries? What are they gonna do? "Hey you, axis of evil, hand over the p2p terrorist on 194.225.70.96 or we'll embargo your netblock!"? :)

    Not looking to denigrate Mr. Uber Banker in any way... but what is the deal with the mods that this post is getting a 4/Insightful... it's just the usual /. "I hate the man" paranoia.

    Hmph... guess I'm getting frustrated with the one-sided crankiness that the moderation system always seems to promote.

    Now please mod this down as OT... cuz it is. :)

    Jesus Christ! It is NOT theft! It is copyright infringement! They are two very different things!

    You're right. copyright infringement is WAY more serious than theft.
