Cynthia Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I really think we should cut down on the swearing here. I understand it's not a rule, and freedom of speech and all, but let's try and set a good example at the very least. I'm not saying never swear, but I am saying to be considerate, some people don't like to see the F word in every post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serene Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 I looked but didnt read, a summary please? Basically Bush put a law into affect that if you are caught with illegal crap on your computer the government has the right to take your computer and use it as evidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 inb4newworldorder This law isn't going to last long, I can tell you this now. Let's be honest, lobbyist for the music and movie industry paid him off for this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom103 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I mean, it's technically the "right" thing to do, but it's a pain, unless your computer is taken away by a government offical then your fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wist Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) The page which the posted article references is worth reading if you haven't checked it (assuming the article is accurate). This appears to be the act itself if anybody is interested, but I'm not at all experienced with legalese so I haven't bothered to look it over.

Cynthia Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I like to remind people that CONGRESS created the bill, Bush just signed it. So don't pin it all on 1 man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 OkayNice sig BTW Thank you. On a plus note, the law won't really be followed I'm almost sure, as it'll be declared unconstitutional right away. Taking an entire computer for a song worth 2 dollars on iTunes?

SmartRutter7 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 wow, i guarantee that qualifies that just about EVERYONE'S computer could be taken. Really, there's probably a very minute group of people who have NEVER done anything illegal online. I mean, just one little mp3... Good to know if they decide to declare this one unconistutional, cause i swear this is bogus. Not like they'd be able to carry it out with the amount of people that have gotten illegal music.

Not to mention, checking your computer is an invasion of privacy, and if they KNEW you had them, they would have to be tracking you, thus still an invasion of privacy.
