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."
I made a mistake in the original post. Please check the reply I made to myself.

BTW, if you are convicted of a Felon, you forfit your right to vote. Gee, how fitting.
I don't see how this is "fitting," even in a sarcastic way. People that release copyrighted
works before the creators can even offer them for
sale are the worst kind of pirates, followed by
those that sell the works on street corners.
It's official folks, USA is now a Plutocrocy [sic].
Why, because we don't let criminals vote?
Ironically, the word ironically is often used incorrectly.
you take something and make a copy and put it in a place where you know that other people will take a copy, it's theft. Sorry but the penalty is not that different to what would be handed out to an art thief or con man.
There was an unknown error in the submission.
Hear! Hear!
