And the commies will take over. If online song-swapping continues. From this article.
In a series of hearings on Capitol Hill last spring, lawmakers condemned online song swapping and expressed concern the networks could spread computer viruses, create government security risks and allow children access to pornography.
Yeah, if you’re stupid.
The Conyers-Berman bill would operate under the assumption that each copyrighted work made available through a computer network was copied by others at least 10 times for a total retail value of $2,500. That would bump the activity from a misdemeanor to a felony, carrying a sentence of up to five years in jail.
So every song is worth $250? That $17 for a CD is a steal.
A Conyers staffer said the bill had won the backing of many Democrats but Republicans had yet to endorse it.
And which is the party of “Big Business”?
