Piracy Deterrence and Education Act Introduced
Bootsy Collins writes "Last Thursday in the U.S. Congress,
H.R. 2517
was quietly introduced and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The bill, authored by Lamar Smith (R-TX) and co-sponsored by Howard Berman (D-CA),
directs the FBI
to develop methods of deterring copyright violation through use of peer-to-peer networks, including efforts to facilitate sharing information about suspected violators amongst law enforcement agencies. It also directs the Justice Department to develop programs to educate the American public on why copyright violation is bad. Berman, you may remember, introduce a bill last year that would give the RIAA and MPAA wide latitude to
crack suspected violators' computers.

It's Monday morning and I'm bored at work.
In reference to your signature, the part I don't understand is the word "arms".
Homo Sapiens would become extinct in 80 years!

That is just too gross to even think about on so many levels.
That would indeed be a tragic false positive, and one I can't defend.
In practice, however, the only vision disability I detect in most AC posts is willful blindness to basic human decency. AC is far more frequently used as cover for trolling or flaming than out of any physical necessity. Also, ACs are not notified (of course you can turn notification off but I assume most sincere posters will use one form or another of it) when a reply is posted, so it is very easy to flame and run without having to accept a response.
In reality, I usually do end up reading most AC posts. If they are sincere, then I occassionally even respond.
Perhaps you should take up the issue of denial of service to the visually impaired with slashdot for their use of the humanconf system. Perhaps they can offer an alternative validation mechanism?
Trouble making decisions? Just flip for it.
