I think it could be easily abused. There are warlords in Africa that already use their control over the power to control the people. They shut off electricity and plumbing whenever they feel like the people aren't obeying. Power is civilization, but he who controls the power, controls the civilization, which is not generally a good thing.
That is all this law is. Apparently no one is able to think for themselves anymore. This whole Inducement Act crosses a line which the government was not meant to cross and its all because the government is nothing more than a pawn of large corporations. This act inhibits our freedom of speach by taking away personal accountability. The only way someone could actually induce you to do something would be if they had a gun to your head, in which case it might be better to let them kill you instead of having to see what future the RIAA and the MPAA hold for technology in this country.
"The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) takes an uncompromising stand against censorship and for the First Amendment rights of all artists to create freely. From the nation's capital to state capitals across the country, RIAA works to stop unconstitutional action against the people who make the music of our times--and those who enjoy it."
The fact that you people label yourselves and each other sickens me. Thats the problem I have with all of this political crap. Enough of this Democrat/Republican bullshit. No one fits into the parties 100% and no intelligent person would vote one way or another straight down the line. Believe it or not, no matter how scary it is, but Republicans and Democrats can agree. OMG, its the end of the world... Stop assuming that just because someone calls themselves a Republican that they have a jingoist mentality bent on world domination, and stop assuming that just because someone is a Democrat that they are a baby-killing communist hippy. Form your opinions on an individual basis instead of being lazy and blanketing an entire political party as evil or stupid.

Just read this atrocious lie:
