Purported ACTA Wishlist Would Put DMCA To Shame
ulash writes "Ars Technica has an article about the (alleged) leaked 'wishlist' that RIAA submitted to the US government back in March of this year listing what they wish to see as a part of ACTA. The list includes such gems as forced filtering of materials by the ISPs, gutting the parts of the DMCA that provides safe harbor to the ISPs, and even restricting supplies of 'optical grade polycarbonate' in countries 'with high rates of production of pirated optical discs.' While the effectiveness of such a 'wishlist' on the law is not by any means objectively measurable, if one takes into account how *AA was instrumentative in the passing of DMCA, I think it is more than likely that they will get at least some of their wishes."
they music and sell it to people who want to buy it.
Wow, I didn't know music could be a verb. But I think that's a great idea. I'm going to music my cubicle as I work this morning. Then when I go home tonight, I'll music with my guitar for a while. I remember that party I went to last weekend... They really musiced up the place!
Oh shit! They won't be sending any more blank CD's to my house in Ohio.
how do you pronounce musiced? is it musicked, museeced or muse-iced?

It looks like they won't be satisfied until they can charge an "entertainment tax" that everyone on earth has to pay simply for being alive. And of course, dictate exactly how much that tax must be.
Citizen! Did you see Love Guru, the hit new Mike Meyers comedy?
No.
Traitor! The cost of a ticket has already been debited from your account.
WTF!
Citizen! Have you seen the latest Halloween, the hit new Michael Meyers slasher?
No.
Eh, can't really fault you on that one, it sucked. We're still deducting the cost of a ticket but crediting it to a better movie.
WTF!

Let them just try it. Why keep shooting yourself in the foot when you can blow the whole leg off?
