File Trading Law Would Include 'Willing' Traders

mgessner writes "From InfoWorld comes a story on the U.S. House's approval of a new, tough law against trading files online. 'The bill expands the definition of file traders eligible for criminal penalties from individuals who 'willingly' distribute copyright files to those who 'knowingly' do so, an escalation that could result in jail time for file swappers.'" (The bill has yet to go through the Senate.)

    Yes, you have all those wonderful rights, but you don't have the right to free speech now do you? When Ernst Zundel is out of prison, then Canadians such as yourself can talk about how wonderful your country is.

    When the economic conditions of Canada improve to the point beautiful young French women aren't driven from the countryside to lives of prostitution and drug abuse, then you can talk about freedom.

    I go to Canada and I see a country that is being invaded by hordes of foreign elements, whose national character and heritage is beseiged endlessly to the point it is practically extent, a corrupt government which exhibits everything that is evil about their so called democracy and egalitarianism, and the quiet desperation of people with no future, no hope, and a nihilistic acceptance of it all.
