Really? Have you heard of the PRO-IP act?
If not, read up on it here: »
www.news.com/8301-13578_ ··· -38.htmlBut a quick summary of it goes as follows: Democrats and Republicans are banding together to protect the IP of the RIAA and MPAA and increase penalties on citizens. The fines for violating copyright would go up as would jail time and the government would be able to seize any and all property used to violate the copyright (and auction if off for that agency's profit... yeah, *that* won't be abused).
Don't think that Democrats are magical saints who will protect the citizens against evil big business. They're just as bad as the Republicans. It's just a matter of them being in slightly different pockets sometimes. (When it comes to politicians, my motto is "Always expect that they will betray their promises and abuse their power. Then plan accordingly.")
