All printers and copiers also allow you to infringe on copyrights. You could even throw paper and pencils. May even have to toss in about every major software product.
Hiding from defacs. If You punish your child he tells them and the stick the noises in your bussiness. Now I am agaist Child abuse 100% but how you correct you child is your onw bussiness ass log as you do not phyiscally harm hinn or her in any way.
Tell you what, as soon as you start going after nations like China, which dedicates entire factories backed by government subsidies to copyright infringement, then I'll stop my pathetic bit of copying. YOU KNOW this is where real copyright infringement is occuring!!! This will solve nothing, because the vast majority of copying is not occuring from this source and going after P2P file sharers is like arresting a pot smoker, instead of going after the seller. Don't go after P2P people just because they are easier to catch. Not only does this waste money that could be better spent elsewhere, but only promotes the illusion that you are doing your job!!! Obviously, this type of thing only means something to people that live a, "Brady Bunch" lifestyle and don't have any real problems. DO ME A FAVOR: Save your emotion for those that can be manipulated by it!! We can't even keep phedophiles away from our children and they are worried about this...I suppose we haven't got bigger problem, do we? This measure will only achieve what politicians(as well as RUSH LIMBAUGH for that matter)covet the most: DISTRACTION!!!!! The RIAA claim they have to do this because illegal copying has caused record sales to drop. While this may be true now(or has creative accounting not only become a catch-phase but contagious?)this was not true before Napster was shut-down. In fact, record sales were actually up before they pulled the plug on Napster. When this happened Napster users wanted to boycott the record stores, but Napster being a class act, said no to this. What do you think...? Excessive copying or record buyer's backlash? You be the judge. Perhaps, the RIAA wouldn't be complaining now if they hadn't started complaining before and shut-down Napster in the first place. Oh, by the way, if you make any copies of this document, in whole or any part thereof, display on an overhead projector, translate through interpretive dance or sign language, transmit through the use of smoke signals, any part of this document, without the express written permission of the author, you, too, may well be guilty of copyright infringement and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!!! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Ah, bite me very much...!!!! Whew...that's more than I've written in 20 years. Something about this issue lit a fire under my butt!!! I CAN'T STOP...SOMEBODY STOP ME...HELP!!!
With this broad term "induce" used in this bill would the artists that they are trying to protect be held liable for "inducing" a child to kill by giving them the mental mind set with their music that it is ok to "pop a cap" into some one when you are mad at them ? Sure the bill is about programs and devices but the greatest tool we have is influence and an artist has a great deal of influance on children and in many cases is wrecklessly using that tool to "induce" a child to break the law in one way or another.
Lets worry a bit more about getting rid of the Congress & senate perks and the pork barrel waste before getting so excited about P2P. Lets also get government out of the big business concerns and start investigating some of the senators and congressmen incomes and where they come from.
