Re: So much for a smaller government...
Mich,
Hate to burst your bubble but the U.S. isn't the top copyright violator. That honor falls to Russia, China, and some others. Merely, this law will do little but fill the pockets of the RIAA at the expense of college kids and children whose parents get sued on their behalf. |

| "stolen content outside bounds internally and externally"
I am well aware of that, when I said externally I was referring to other countries. I have visited foreign countries before and I see all the bootleg CDs for 10 pesos (2USD as of current pricing) available for sale on street corners.
China, Russia and other countries are no different, which is why I am indirectly asking where would the court system obtain the money and resources to prosecute alleged criminals from foreign and domestic identities. |

The US gets their own countries to prosecute them thru the trade agreement process and the WTO international trade organization. While it is not easy to do that, other countries, because they have their own IP issues, are starting to prosecute copyright infringement. More and more countries are falling in to line with US wishes on this issue.

TK,
Enforcement for many countries is lackluster. China has seen some major crack downs as of late. However, once this hoopla for the Olympics ends, I see them going back to old ways. As for Russia, well a few minor busts have happened. However, it's Russia. These won't go anywhere. As for the rest of the world, when you got an unstable or repressive government, I think they worry little about piracy. Their mainstay is staying in power. I highly doubt the Junta in former Burma, the Warlords in Africa, etc are too concerned about piracy. These initiatives will go little if anywhere to stop it. Too many countries in this world are unstable and rife with poverty. Wherever you have these two elements, piracy flourishes. You have A) Little Enforcement B) People with limited resources wanting to enjoy stuff (Music, movies, etc). |
