Seems they're sat it agian and are now trying to ram another new bill to castrate the internet after COICA was shot down.
Really WTF is wrong with some of the law makers do they even vaguely understand that the public said hell no to this kind of faggotry?

Politicians ain't about the public. It's all about who hands the cash under the desk; corporations.
Also, one fat LOL at the draft's clever wordings. Typical of assholes trying to pass new laws. They put one phrase in the beginning that makes it seem convenient, then they put all kinds of shit in later paragraphs that contradicts everything they say they want to achieve earlier. I can understand the common Joe and Jane to not read everything, but do the retards who review the laws read the whole shit from beginning to end?
It's a lot more work to actually read the whole thing and review the words used(those words are gonna be argued to all hell in court), so they just take that dirt money behind closed doors and call it a day.

Yeh exactly, every few years poiticians try this in order to leverage their own personal power via taxation or regulation of the net. Luckily this is a non-partisan issue tho, and politically active voters from both sides (and the middle) always rise up and come together to slap this kind of shit back down. Once the internet gets big enough, no single country will be able to control it, and shitty attempts to hijack it like this will stop. I hope to see it soon.

Politicians who accept bribes under the desk should be kicked out of office.

We'd have no government left.

then i can be the government. and I'd give a speech which will be remembered forever as "The Quit Yer Bitchin' Address". It would go like this:
Quit Yer Bitchin' (applause)

You've never met California Senator Kevin De Leon, have you? And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

You'd lose votes faster than you can say 'Al Gore', lol.
That wouldn't be a politically correct thing to campaign for in a government modeled after democracy. The purpose of having a state official elected by the people is, among other things, to have that elected official forward the gripes of the people(what you call 'bitchin') to the head of state so that they'll get the legislation going or receive funds to fix those gripes. Telling them to shut up is exactly the kind of things they want you to do in China.

I dunno if I'd rather deal with cluelessness or corruption. But I know that I'd rather not deal with both put together. Unfortunately, my home state is much like California in that regard.

i wonder if they know the bills they trying to pass actually hurts the market international. For me i use the streaming and stuff to find artist i like and i end up buying the cd for when im in the car (if the artist is that good).
but yea i think common sense left the gene pool a long ago

One thing you should all bear in mind is that there's a difference between illegality and enforcement. I'm sure there's a hero's load of laws that nobody bothers enforcing, either because of obscurity, or practicality. The Internet provides a great model for the latter. For example, imagine a suit for copyright infringement to everybody who's ever uploaded TV shows or games, the world over.

Media companies just get settlements out of court because the people downloading stuff can't afford a lawyer. Free money.

ah, but i wouldn't be elected in the first place, i would be appointed. by whom? who knows? but it wouldn't be by popular vote so i don't have to worry about what the masses think. In fact my next big speech would be the "State of the lalalalala I can't hear you Address"

Making an affordable, easier way to acquire media is what dissuades piracy, like iTunes and Netflix.

Unfitted sheets all I can say is wow.
If a hotel wants to use unfitted sheets let them it really is a balance between being easy to fold or time taken to change them out.
The only part of that bill that made any sense was long handled tools in cleaning public bathrooms which is kinda a common sense thing.Peter Barton said:

Affordable media is the best way to fight piracy but if you treat your customers like criminals like Sony and WMG do they'll start acting like criminals.
