Congress Declares War on File Leakers
An anonymous reader submits "Bush is expected to sign a law that essentially makes it a crime punishable by up to three years in jail for a user to put a single 'copy of a film, software program or music file in a shared folder and should have known the copyrighted work had not been commercially released.' Whichever side you're on in the copyright debate, you have to agree this legislation is draconian and excessive, to say the least."
Nope... somebody mod me offtopic :-)

"Oh wait a minute, I'm in Europe."
That actually makes it worse for you. The US likes to force extradition. Take you to a third country, like Afghanistan and beat the crap out of you, legally and torture you without anyone knowing. You never get to the US where you have rights. But wait.. I forget.. We actually do that to our own citizen's here too and cover it up, accept where someone catches it happening on camera and gets it to a news station before the police find you. Oh, Forget it, I guess it's a moot point. Your toast whereever you are. It's a matter of whether you want you toast burnt or shoved up your rectum, your choice.
Funny how people find it amazing that our legal system is out of whack, and the corporate funding of big government to protect it.
Its funny, corporations pay less taxes than you, get more legal rights than you, and elect your officals.
If you dont like it you can, ahh, vote? hahhahaha.
Mute is kind of slow.
Freenet is really slow.
Blubster has spyware and worms.
From what I've seen, Slashdot is about taking pot shots on Democrats and madly raving about how great Microsoft is while bashing Linux.
Good call! Just a reminder. When posting about the problem originating with the voters, you might note that in general, you will be ignored. The people here who vote don't want to be told they fucked up. It's like telling a parent that their kid drowned in the inflatable pool, "fell" down the stairs, swallowed a bottle of Drano, is flunking out of school, or went on a killing spree after playing Grand Theft Auto because they(the parents) were negligent.
What?
