This is breathtaking in its scope and obvious un-Constitutionality. The Democraps will love it -- it's all about using the Federal Government to prop up the recording industry and Hollywood.

Why don’t Gonzalez work on enforcing our current laws, instead of coming up with new unnecessary crap?

Homeland security working for the RIAA? Ugh...

This country’s gone crazy, and I can’t just blame the Dems anymore.

Gonzalez should spend his time looking at all the crime and corruption in government first. That would keep him occupied until he is out of office. Of course, he should already be out of office.

Don’t these RINO morons realize the Hollywood types will NEVER vote Republican, no matter what they do?

Stealing other people’s property is immoral and illegal. Saying that we are using the government to “prop up” an industry that you don’t care for is incorrect.

That’s it... I give up...

Obviously Gonzales needs to be fired, both for botching the fired attys deal, and this complete fiasco.

And, given the environmental pronouncements of the past few weeks, I’m voting for changes there too.

It’s a good thing that term limits prevent us from deciding on whether to dump our incumbent....

Gee, I have an idea:

Why not make it a crime to steal TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS FROM THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES, SHRED THEM AND THEN LIE ABOUT IT?

Sheesh.

Create a new crime of life imprisonment for using pirated software...

Can't be true. Got to be satire.

...

Criminalize “attempting” to infringe copyright...
Create a new crime of life imprisonment for using pirated software...
Permit more wiretaps for piracy investigations...
Allow computers to be seized more readily...
Increase penalties for violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s anti-circumvention regulations...
Add penalties for “intended” copyright crimes...
Require Homeland Security to alert the Recording Industry Association of America...
...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Isn’t this a list of things being foiled by dems in the hunt for terrorists? The same things now they want to use to hunt for software pirates? Life in prison for bootleg sw?

OK, under this Alberto should be jailed for infringing on the brightness of a 10 watt bulb.

* Allow computers to be seized more readily. Specifically, property such as a PC "intended to be used in any manner" to commit a copyright crime would be subject to forfeiture, including civil asset forfeiture. Civil asset forfeiture has become popular among police agencies in drug cases as a way to gain additional revenue, and is problematic and controversial.

So...you download or install a piece of software used to burn CD's or DVD's...maybe you just want to convert your old 8mm home movies...next thing you know, the Feds are at your door demanding to know what your 'intent' is?

This country has gone looney toons, and I can't sit back and blame Democrats alone anymore. Who will liberate us from this madness of Government run amok?

Could the AG maybe, just maybe, focus half the energy he is on alleged copyright infringment on, I don’t know, more pressing issues for Americans like....tougher penalties for id theft. See that’s something Americans acutally care about.
