Yea that act is truely wonderful, it could make a copyright violation make you a terrorist, i think hte RIAA wil be rubbing their hands in glee.

Once again, glad i'm moving to europe. Governments are entirely corperate whores there yet.

You need new laws, period. BUt i mena if you have a totaly insecure boxen with your credit card info on it its liek leaving your front door open, your insurance company will give u nothing and you'll get little sympathy. The same should apply. Those in power who mostly know sweet fuck all about tech and the net (read: Ashcroft) fear what they do not understand, so they want to crush it and it seems little details lik breach of constitutional right will be very easily washed away in the name of stopping terrorism. (60% accroding to time poll support being able to hold suspected terrorists for UNLIMITED POERIOD OF TIME WIHTOUT BAIL, fucking hell!) It'll be like Britan with its anti-terrorism laws in the 80s (gilford four all over again?).
