November 18, 201114 yr Congress Weighs Fighting Internet Piracy Like the War on Drugshttp://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/11/congress-weighs-fighting-internet-piracy-like-the-war-on-drugs/248690/ A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
November 20, 201114 yr Sounds like another Mickey Mouse Protection Act, but this one to the extreme. Hopefully it gets shot out of the sky.
November 20, 201114 yr Maybe they should finish the war on drugs first...Cheers Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
November 20, 201114 yr Follow the money. Some congressman's brother-in-law probably has the inside track on a big contract. Or some relative is going to get the prime job running the new bureaucracy. Whenever something like this is announced, always look to see who is going to get rich. Joe Brown

November 24, 201114 yr Thank God somebody is doing something about this issue at last.I'll be more than happy to volunteer for free to help in any way.Pirates' cheating drives up prices for the honest buyers.I think there's room for compromise on it.I wouldn't like the bill in its present form, but now that something tangible is actually there maybe it will spur its supporters and opponents retool it to something more workable for all.But I agree it has gone far too long with nothing being done about this problem. Putting any bill up there at least gets the ball rolling.Regards.Ernie.

Whenever something like this is announced, always look to see who is going to get rich.So often true...we can hope though.

I really hope that this gets put down! Ben B. I5 at 2.9 ghz, 8gb of RAM, and GTX 560 Overclocked 1gb
