are those the hcaker groups that are getting busted or people who are just sharing out mp3's and movies and such. I did alittle research and read some news articles about how the FBI hangs out in the hacker rooms.

there were some large hacker groups busted ... DoD was one of the last ones that made the news in a major way ... i cant remeber some of the other ones ... im sure it can be found on google..

Let me ask you guys this, Say this bill passes and they go out on kazza and find 2 million people in the U.S sharing files. Are they really going to go out and try and arrest 2 million people and put them in prison? Dont we have a over crowed prison problem already. Seems like they will be making a bigger problem for themselves (goverment) in the long run.

That pretty much sums up a democrat in a nutshell. NEVER EVER take care of a problem at its source. Just do something that needs more funding and just creates more headaches in the long run.

Is the stuff they are doing even constitutional. Its invasion of privacy and a bunch of other issues.

A few idiots calling themselves Dems doesn't represent the whole party...

Yes. It's legal. No privacy is invaded when they freely open up and share. Again, my drug analog:. This is not a case of them breaking into your home to search for drugs. This is a case of you smoking/injecting them on the sidewalk in front of your house and giving away free samples to anybody that walks by. What you are doing is not private, regardless of your physical location - gotta love cyberspace, just don't let "real" space bite you in the butt when they crossover.

Hence, the reason why my audio/video computer and my Internet computer are two physically-separated, non-interconnected units. You can't go hunting on somebody's computer if you can't network into it!

The only bad Democrat is a Texas 'Crat!

If RIAA/MPAA crawled across my system, outside the shared folders, then tried to pin me for a crime, I'd file a class-action suit against them for invasion.

Oh.... how sweet that would be... I hope you get sued txpharaoh... because really, **** them. I just would love to see em screw up like that.

Funny how the average murderer gets less than 8 years. Share a file and get 5???? I would hope nothing like this could ever pass. What I want to know is why aren't they so vigiant about going after *REAL* criminals?????

I think we both know the unfortunate answer here: $$$
Murder doesn't really cost any money, its just morals, you know, and morals are on the way out, profit is the big thing nowadays. Politicians don't give a shit either. They care about their career more than real issues, and the technology is getting so complicated I wouldn't even blame them for not understanding whats going on.

So true.
