I am in the independent music/ film industry in Wilmington, NC and couldn't care less about who downloads my music. However if I did have some success and money invested in advertising and one of these people burned it and sold it at the flea market I would sue. I don't think the RIAA gives two sh*ts about downloaders either - just the bootleggers. It goes the same for the alcohol industry and moonshiners. In a capitalist economic system you can't have a business without a license and avoid the ability for your product to be taxed. Also these flea market distributers don't have enough command to know how to do business research on their own - only steal.
I would like to know if google was allowing AXA's competitor to code metatags dealing with AXA in their website. It is advertising that google is selling right? How could you not see the reason why? If the Pepsi guy is caught drinking Coke on the job he is firing for supporting the competition. Don't you know this? Are you from Canada or some other socialist economic state?
[Also after re-reading the article it doesn't mention anything about being listed first... that was me popping off, but my words above still stand]
Anyone who owns a company in America knows competition is the key. We are capitalist afterall. One shouldn't see their competitor come up first on the list.
Also google seems to be somewhat anti-semitic because when one types in Jew the first page is JewWatch, an anti-semitic webpage. 100,000 online signatures were given in the first week. Even though google said they'd remove it after 50,000 signatures they left it there. Why should I use the search engine kept running by hypocrites?!

I agree with you cdrguru. It seems we now have a new generation of kids who want everything handed to them. They never got off the breast milk and are constantly trying to find another tit to suck. They don't realise that it takes very hard work to put together an album or make a full length motion picture. Here in Wilmington the new TV show being filmed here, "One Tree Hill", puts in $1 million into the economy each episode. When I talk to these people who want free everything I realise all they know how to do is prey off of the talented people's ideas like vultures. These people have absolutely no creative ideas for themselves. Yeah I know the artist doesn't get much money for each album that sells, but they get all the profit from merchandising and touring. If you do the work it will pay off. Think of how game console merchandising works. Gaming companies sell the console for cost and make all their money off of the games they sell for it. Capitalism works and for those of you who want something for free move to Canada!
I agree that if the bill was worded in a better sense to defend against the EULA loophole then it could work. The reason why most of these tech laws don't work is because there are too many nerds b*tching about it and not joining the government. Truth is the government may have the hardware, but not the software to fully utilize what they have. Then again maybe the word "law" isn't a cool enough buzz word for the youth of America.
