Ok I was on another board, and I thought about it.
"Turkey" Drug.
In the state I live in there is a turkey drug law. If you try and sell asprin, and say it's acid. You can go to jail for the exact same amount of time as if it were acid.
So thinking along these lines, if record companies are posting files on these p2p networks and distributing them as if it were the real thing, shouldn't they get fined too?
The system is broken, hardcore. Now if you release open source software you are aiding terrorists?
Ever since the "Stella Awards" I've always wondered where America was going. Criminals can sue the people they are robbing if they get hurt.
Then the RIAA starts prosicuting fans. When it comes to Microsoft... you name it.
It seems we are justblowing up the world!
The funny thing is CHILD PORNGRAPHERS can - I'd link to the story, but news.com took it down, actually got off because his computer was hacked into, and he didn't get a search warrent, but not the RIAA!! If that bill passes they won't need a search warrent, just look up legal hacking on google...you'll get tons of links on it.
Oops I'm off the subject.
If we are all on the same page, and reading the same stuff, then we all know what the other guy can do. So why would open source be so bad, and as far as documents... there are documents for everything

Just a thought.
Yup, during the first war, we should have done it right the first time.
I guess it's true. If you don't find the time to do it right the first time, when will you find time to do it again?
"Product liablity" is a bunch of bs.

Yes companies are *that* evil, just look what the RIAA is doing.
I heard they are going to try and charge rent on the next one. Something like $10 a month for the home edition, and $20 for professional.
This is a fictitious rumer, I just made it up.
