Re: Thank Bush for killing the "Govt suing infringers" part
Sad to see that a broken clock is right more than the current band of elitists controlling the House and Senate. |

No grasping for straws. FDA regulates ALL FOOD whether from a restaurant or private company. Their job is to ENSURE that food is safe to it, not that it tastes good. Their job isn't go around to Pizza Hut, McDonalds, and say this stuff is good. Also their job IS NOT to hold anyone who might be stealing their recipe accountable. Simply put, the FDA just makes sure you WON'T DIE from what you eat. There's no grasping for anything.
As for the porn industry, their job is to protect copyright and the actors. However, they work FOR the industry as a PRIVATE ORGANIZATION. The same as the MPAA / RIAA. Neither are government funded.
See how you are missing the point? Why shouldn't these organizations FUND THEIR OWN POLICE / Copyright Czars instead of the tax payer footing the bill. Notice once again, these organizations are FUNDED BY THE INDUSTRY THEMSELVES. So their enforcement should stay that way and NOT BURDEN tax payers.
I think you were missing the ENTIRE POINT and did a fantastic job of proving mine. |

| I said the FDA was different. I won't argue that point.
The porn industry will find protection under the IPEC. Your previous comment was "should the porn interest have a smut czar?" and my retort was that they will with IPEC.
If you think I missed my point and proved yours, then our discussion is done. |

Yep, you are correct sir.
That is why we have something called private security guards and not public police to do the dirty work for the private corps. |

said by Mashiki  :It took 5 weeks to get into see my family doctor that's the legacy of universal healthcare. Just an aside, even here in the US, I have had to wait that long to see my neurologist at the time and, on occasion, a little over three months to see my PCP. This isn't a community clinic, but a private foundation hospital with an EXCELLENT reputation.
said by Mashiki :By-the-by and going back to topic, I'd suggest going for a CD levy down there. Not sure if you are kidding or not, but a CD levy addresses the problem from the wrong angle, especially when you consider that most infringement is not done with physical media. It might have made sense back before everyone had high speed internet and still relied on copying discs.
