I agree with every one of you points. Well except for "If I OWN something, I can do whatever the fuck I want with it. Period." which is to broad. If I own a gun can I kill someone with it? But anyway yeah I agree with you. It is in fact for this reason I posted the comment. I am saying this would impinge apon this right to fair use.
correct but you only need to buy that once. I'm just saying this is not the reason why you can't walk into a book store and "download" a book you already own. You could however download a txt file that has the contents of a book you already bought.
yes but you are then steeling the paper not the content. I do agree with you on the bob senario. It was just an example of where the law does not make sence.
Yes but not only does it outlaw the disribution of material that is copyrighted without consent. It also makes it ilegal to crack encryption. Lets think about this with an example. Bob forgot his password. Bob has the md5 hash of his password. Bob knows his password was less than 8 charecters and only used numbers and letters so it is in fact crackable. Bob wants to use a cracker on it but can't because this would be circomventing crypto. This is just one of many such instances of the law. Another is downloading mp3 of music you already own. The list goes on.
I'm not totally sure that that comment was supposed to be funny. It is possible we have someone from the RIAA here and they were being completely serious.
Man and I thought the DMCA was bad. This law is just ridiculus. If sweden has any free speech rights in their constitution I doubt ths law will be enforcable. Does this law really have any support?

I do 60 gigs UPLOAD every month. My ISP (roadrunner ) couldn't care less. God knows how much I dowload. Man I had know idea how lucky I am.
As I type this I have been listening to BBC world service over the internet. I have a shortwave radio too. Its really just much better sound this way. Its still fun to use the shortwave but realistically I use the computer for what I can.
Wow that ALMOST makes me want to switch parties. If only they would do more stuff like this. Someone really needs to put an end to this madness and I have to say I am surprised it was a republican. Not just because they are not my party but because regulating large corperations is not their thing.
The spacifics of why they are being sued is unimportant. They are an evil large american corperation and any suite brought against them is a good one. Down with coperate america. and for a certain AC I was talking to last night...I am NOT calling for the violent overthrough of the bush administrating. Unfortunatly that would be ilegal and so I will not support violence.
Ok lets start at the beginning. Inforcing something is to convict someone of it. Not to be arrested by the fbi. Lately ashcroft does whatever he damn well pleases but that does not mean such a thing would hold up in court. Now my statemnet that regime change starts at home does not say anything about the means of that change. As you can see in the law it must be by violance or assination and I declare my support for neither. So I did not come even close to threatening the life of the president. So that law does not apply. Next, the supreme court hears more like 80 cases a year. And are you telling me a case dealing with our very free speech right to speak out against the government is not a big deal. I think most poeple would say it is. Its no speeding ticket. I do believe that the current government of the united states of america should be overthrown in the 2004 election. This is how democracy works. Just because I say these thing before the election does not mean I support regime change out side of elections. In fact I always like it when people vote to change a regime. Aperently the Bush administration does not however judging by there complete contempt for the UN. So yes I do have a right to free speech and I do have a right to ask for the overthrow of the government as long as it is not violent and not through assassination as you yourself see in the law. Nice try budddy!
Do you ACTUALLY think I am serious? I am against SDI but not for that reason. Mostly cause its so close to STI and so it allways reminds me of....oh nm on that reason. Also its stupid to get out of the ABM treaty but thats for a differnet topic that will never be posted.
Nothing I type without action is legally a felony and if such a law exists it could not be inforced. I would love to be the test case and take it to the supreme court. Don't give me bullshit about WWI becasue that was long ago when we were even dumber than we are now.

I think this bill may actually be his more creative way of saying he will not run for another term.

No all the ones on kazaa are fake. When he posted this you would need 0day ftp access or alot of time to use an xdcc bot channel.
Yeah imagine the ddosing if they DID give out a real ip.
NOOOO, what will we do in 2010 when we are done with it. It is really usefull. This is a serious question.
Didn't read the review.
