Talk about draconian laws and milking the system if this bill ever goes through.

 

defining quote

 

"SIRA fundamentally redefines copyright and fair use in the digital world. It would require all incidental copies of music to be licensed separately from the originating copy. Even copies of songs that are cached in your computer's memory or buffered over a network would need yet another license. Once again, Big Copyright is looking for a way to double-dip into your wallet, extracting payment for the same content at multiple levels."

If you play a song on your PC, the data is copied from the harddrive to the memory. Every time it is copied it's a new copy - so will we have to pay for each time we hear a song?

[Weirdy]

They'd have to install something and we'd have to let them into our hd's first right? Will it be acceptable probable cause for a search if we resist?

 

Some of us might have to depend on the possible rationale of some of those judges (yikes). I just hope the "theft" card isn't played.

I don't think you get it. They need a way to track those things down. That means if the law passes, you will be forced by the law to install a spyware and give it a firewall permit! I won't though, cause I don't live in the US

And flock everyone who thought up this idiotic idea
