What bull! If this happens the DMCA and RIAA and other websites of that nature will be hacked and down in less than a day. At least I'm pretty sure the government won't pass this...

It's been this way for quite some time now. And I doubt that anything will change unless someone can bring about loosening the grip corporate dollars have on our 'elected' officials. |

Eliminating things like firewalls and such is just a blatant showing of the ignorance of Politicians. So I guess they actually like DoS attacks and hacks..

AZ | It's a MPAA Monopoly
So they want to have contorl over anything technology related, so that would constititue a monopoly, therefore making it illegal and ridding the problem. Oh wait, it's the MPAA, they can make a law making them exempt. |

Of course they like DOS attacks. Only then can they effectively deny all information to anyone but themselves. Fucking Illuminata. |

| What about corp servers, no firewall for them? Ah?
What I'm gonna do? Take the firewall of our corp. server so anyone could log in and change web pages to their needs? So any military and gov server will be hacked due to the law that it is illegal to have a firewall? Any 12 year old kid will be able to aim and fire the missiles. Then every hacker will have a backup of Pentagon top secret documents.

when they pass a law that i can't have a way to protect myself, via my d=link router, when they come to get it, they can take the cable modem with it. and i hope they feed it to the fat cat record labels, or the lawmakers who passed it, and they can choke on it.
and my cd's to!
heck if i can quit smoking, the internet will be no problem! |

| See? They take it bit by bit
This is how it works! If this was part of the *original* DMCA, it would of caused the whole bill to go down in flames (That would of kicked ass...)
... but, they pass first one bit, and then once people have 'accepted' it, they come in with the follow up, and take more....
Your freedoms and your rights are never taken from you all at once... they take them bit by bit... By the time Joe Sixpack wakes up to the fact that hey, everything is criminal, it's too late...
It's so annoying. Legislators who are SO BOUGHT AND PAID FOR as to ever support this type of crap should be considered criminals and locked up.
But no.. Instead this will pass. If not the first time, then the next time, or the next.
It's so frustrating watching our non-democracy at work.

You forget, the laws only apply to us, the Government and big companies will always be exempt and above the law. |
