At the rate we're going "copyright infringement" will be a capital offense in a few years.

capital offense is to far but makeing it go to a criminal court will make it a lot harder to find people gully and you do have a jury.

It almost already is. The fines and prison terms available to be applied far outweigh some crimes such as auto theft, burglary etc

if the media goons had their way, P2P piracy would be seen as worse then murder or high seas piracy.

The funny thing is people bitched about the extra $600 million needed to fund the program with ranst of "we don't have the money" or "Our grandkids will have to pay this back" and not only do we get the entire $600 million back but another $600 mil on top of it. I just love ranters and ther illogical ways who have no patience to wait things out and see how they end up.

Re: DTV Coupon Redemption Ends With Over $1 Billion Worth Unused

I didn't see anywhere that said we'd be getting it back, just that it went unused. In Government terms, that means the money was allocated for someone that could pass public approval, and will now be blown on something stupid behind closed doors.
