Title: Digital Millennium Copyright Act

I thought this would be of interest to everyone here.  It's still in draft form, but it's pretty scary.

Big Brother is Watching.
Only the date was off by about 20 years.
If you want a scary picture read 1984. It plays far too true.

it's funny to see kids get worked up when the government threatens to monitor them while they're illegally downloading porn on the internet, but they don't care that the government already has mobile radars and cameras to catch them speeding on the highways.

It's all relevant, you need to stop the man every time it tries to take away any right.

Once one goes they all go.
