That thing is utter illusion.

Really, nothing will work as long as computers have “save as” options (an invitation to copy) and write on hard disk, flash memory, usb memory sticks, blank media, lase printers are sold.

This is a new era and a new revolutionary way to reward creators and artists (not businesses) is needed, (while allowing free copying and distribution). Hey, wasn’t that the the whole purpose of copyright?

Any pretense that the government represents the people has been dropped. They don’t even try to pretend that the corporations are their number one concern anymore.

Right now, I’m ashamed to be an American.

Border gaurds should look for things that are a risk to security of said country and contrabaned stuff ie drugs, firearms etc. They shouldnt be made to look for copyrighted music, dvds, etc. I recently bought a friend a prtable hard drive so she could take her thousands of “legally” obtained music with her when she moved overseas. I would have hated for border gaurds to look at that and tell her to delete those songs or pay some fine for having them.
