They're trying to combat fire with fire ... let's see if this is approved, who get's burned first ... Cheers, Joao Vaz A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person - Natalie Portman (Padme/Amidala of Star Wars)
they cant stop it. kazaa and other p2p networks will improve the security, to make it harder.

"I thought they're breaking my copyright, so I hacked their whole network" If this is legalized, will they be able to do just that? I wouldn't be surprised if they the RIAA didn't just set up thousands of PCs on fast connections to run KaZaA, and host lots of viruses and trojans named to look like songs (the average user would be too dim to realise that brittneyspears_doubleclickme.exe probably isn't a music file) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

suppose so, unless they make a condition that they have to be able to prove the copyright is being broken. which on something like kazaa is not hard. just type in something like 'windows xp' and you will get loads of results.

This representant is trying to promote an US law to allow attacks Worldwide ?!? Isn't it a casus belli ? what would be the US reaction if EU promote a law enabling to attack americans networks and servers ? And always the same old lies of RIAA: "Internet piracy undermines the growth of legitimate online music sites and hurts all consumers in the long run", which should be translated as: "Internet piracy undermines our possibilities making money with our online music sites and hurts our capacities to dictate to all consumers what they should listen to and buy" Y'a cool jouer avec Maradona qui fait tourner gratos dans les vestiaires - Merci Maradona ! - Y'a pas d'quoi !

Yeah, very. Pretty much everyone supported the farmer, and there was huge uproar when he was convicted of murder -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

It wasn't the fact he was convicted, but that it was murder rather than manslaughter (due to him acting in self defence) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Hey, if a thief breaks into my house at 2 AM and tries to steal my guitar, he's likely to find himself dodging some rather well placed 9mm rounds. If someone tries to steal the songs I wrote with that guitar, why can't I shoot back in the digital domain to protect my property? Don't want to get shot at? Don't steal.

We get screwed badly enough by the record companies as it is. Piracy takes away what few bread crumbs they throw us. Find a way to penalize the corporate rip off artists who steal musicians blind (labels, organized as RIAA or not) without taking money out of the bands' pockets and I might even support it. Until then, when you steal from a record label, you steal from a musician. We didn't do anything to deserve that, even if the label did.
