"Special Assistance from HomeLand Security"?
"Wiretaps"?
I think the Government needs to concentrate on more important things....such as...illegal immigration, Drugs flowing into this country,terrorism.
But I guess some kid in Cedar Rapids poses more of a threat with those evil mp3's of Fall Out Boy.

Hacking DVD CSS is the new terrorist attack, cracking HDDVD keys and releasing them are the new IEDs, and posting torrents for millions to download are the new suicide bombers. |

1. Pirate Music
2. ????
3. Terrorists Win
If you pirate music, the terrorists win. It's as simple as that. Why am I the only one not having trouble seeing this? I provided a visual aide to assist the others here.  |

Where is the 'comprehensive amnesty plan' for American file sharers????
The Jorge Bush admin will deport file sharers before they can rouse themselves to start deporting illegal aliens

I don't think that stopping piracy is any easier than stopping drugs... And those who think that it is need a little history lesson... |

No more new laws just enforce the laws we have .
Under Gonzales's leadership the Justice Department and the FBI have been accused of improperly, and, perhaps illegally, using the USA PATRIOT Act to uncover personal information about U.S. citizens.[2] His role in the dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys has led several members of Congress to call for his resignation.
like wiretapping law and the Data Protection Act 1998 and Personal Privacy Protection Law.

Who said they should be effective in stopping. The illusion of doing something on a low risk issue and keeping industry happy and getting donations is the aim and they are doing it well. |

Well the Halliburtons and Blackwaters of the world need to step up! We have to fight the war on terror before we start fighting ourselves.

I remember when that really was the law. Back then, any encryption software was considered munitions. If you wanted to have 128-bit SSL on your web browser, you had to order a special diskette. To get the diskette, you had to provide all of your personal information, swear an oath of allegiance, cross your eyes and hope to die, etc. etc. |

Nice poster and so true. Nothing is more stupid than watching TSA people wanding and patting down uniformed military people. |
