Comments on: Intellectual property bill passes in the House

Legislation, which would create an "IP coordinator" in the White House, now awaits the president's signature after receiving bipartisan support in Congress.

What will this law do?...... ABSOLUTELY N O T H I N G! Sing it with me, yeah! Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, no-thing!

I swear, how stupid are the RIAA and MPAA for pushing these types of laws. Here's a newsflash for them: Hey yo, youse wanna stop piracy? Come here, let Mickey tell you what to do: LOWER YOUR PRICES! GET RID OF DRM! STOP TAKING YOUSE OWN CUSTOMERS FOR A RIDE!
Do these three things, and piracy (at least on a commercial scale) will disappear.

The RIAA and MPAA break laws designed to prevent collusion.

This move is the last move before the entire concept just falls apart.
I hope at least some provisions were added for small independant inventors to protect them from Corporate IP theives.

I am waiting for copyright law to so ridiculously draconian that people can't do anything and the whole thing collapses. Copyright is already a joke with certain groups buying legislation. They all benefit from the public domain, but they buy extensions and other laws to keep there stuff from going to into the public for benefit of others.

If they really want to solve the piracy problem, go after the overseas cartels that are making billions of the copyrighted content.
Oh, wait! They have big guns and hitmen
It's like prosecuting john doe for keying your car instead of the big bad guy putting those 50 cal. holes in your car
