I've been doing a lot of reading and it seems to me that our current government and administration are doing everthing they can in the favor of big business, whether it be entertainment, commerce, or of course oil. There's only one thing that can be done to change things-- I'm sure most of the readers here are college students, so you know what you have to do. (1) Write to your Congressperson, and (2) Vote. That's all we can hope to do about this--- And I encourage you all to do both. ---Khabi Thanks for pointing out what I’ve known is obvious in your post, GuidoZ.

If they were a major voting block then most politicians would reconsider voting for it. Does anyone realize how much it would cost the government to prosecute all of us? Two words:COURT FEES. congress will pass it because most college kids dont vote. If they were a major voting block then most politicians would reconsider voting for it.

As is posted by most copyright organizer suppliers is their own interpretation and not that of either the artist or the artist foundation so the rights clause is a falacy first and foremost protecting only dealers at large that sell their products as quality downloads. Accessing their products require special appended features they are glad to share with anyones computer at anytime the internet user signifies for their servers to accommidate a request. There are no individuals that wrongfully desire to use those methods to attain a copyright matter that they may have a interest in, rather than go that route they choose to share files with other Internet individuals also sharing files. P2P is one method to share files and is nothing shorter than a propagation to enrich either of their needs, nothing short of copyright infringment is being exemplified herewith since they are not connected to any offer from dealers selling their high quality products, programs create specific matters from copyright materials, some can do it effectively while others such as notepad in Microsoft Products cannot even read a Microsoft News Page correctly because Microsoft supposrt characterization that is not supported in notepad nor wordpad for that matter of copyright infringement Microsoft is making the offer of a news article and forcing people that do wish to copy/paste and store to store erronous text, some of which will not store fashionably becaue of lack of character support (ordinary ASCII Text matter is copyrightable). The Microsoft claims of copyright and any other factoion is creating a falsehood of characterization where black upright rectangles are replacing ordinary ASCII Text and that infringes the copyrightwhere Microsoft sold their product to copy/paste and store text matter on the HDs this material they broadcast is a illegal factor regarding their HTML or otherwise definition of the copyright matter which is not greater than ASCII in real copyright format. Since Microsoft now others supplies images of a page derived matter of copyright they claim none of the material Microsoft has falls into the realm of copyright legalities so Internet Individuals wishing to claim copyright to a captured image that has been enhanced by cloning together many images somewhat like stiching them together has not infringed a copyright even if the originator of copyright matter has broadcast the information in a foreign text matter that is not supported by the programming they sell or otherwise distribute which also is a copyright matter but is more-so a patent issue than a copyright issue. Music is a general audio issue to those whom experience it having specific support players to enhance the quality or deminish the size of such music audio. If it were a general issue that demanded all Internet individuals to comply to copyright standards it would be saying that they as well as distributors have to submit to copyright constrictions and claim copyright in matters they not only share but also would distribute from their websites or on servers that provide support for uploading and downloading such things as a very small audio sample might be the worst demanded copyright issue yet to be complied to since artists do not supply samples of their works as copyright matters its not their liability as such since they are not distributing a short of a music file. Distributors copyright marks are signifying only one thing they have published something to the masses and as proof they must show their copyright legal signature. Nothing short coming of legal signatures are being mandated by a administration seeking to claim a infringement of copyright before the fact exists and if there were a certificate it would not be one generated by a artist but generated by a sales distributor without recourse of changing a supported Java Base that makes their services adequate for only them. Java has nothing to do with copywriters whom fail to create a legal signature that is distributed with a copyright product, infringement occurs when anyone else obtaining such from a dealer would boast claim on a website that its geniune content not associated with any Internet Domain whihc is not a copyright issue until it has been written into ownership, nothing pertaining to that database is copyright issue and therefore many large corporates employ a series of servers which are not within the copyright issue as well to supply information as well as the copyright products they sell online, while some super large corporates branch their operations in other nations to break-in servers that do not even have support in the USA for use in the USA and utilize English particulars as a scam evolves to protect their rights abroad (THE COPYRIGHT ISSUE IN ITS FULLNESS). Window Java is not Adobe Java and Adobe Documentation has come a long way to offer music lovers opportunity that dealers are not associated inre of pertaining not only to music but also pictures and videos in PDF documents. It is a opportunity for those whom desire that production of a pdf file presentation without respect to what a mp3 or wave file is or bmp or jpg image file having supported players and options to activate preferences, if'n a dealer generated the pdf file the individual is left in the dark to make corrections to it and cannot open a (ASCII Text File) using Adobe and Adobe has no spell checker for (ASCII Text). A primary example may be a claim of copyright by lets say a University in Iraq and sells to students music online setup to appear legit but in truthfulness a patent issue exists that endorses a foreign supplier to handle the transfers of the music nothing coming out of Iraq whatsoever lets say Great Britian whom in turn has received exclusive protect contracts from artists gullible enough to hand over a set of music scripts which are nothing short of English by far worse written in a music scale. The seller has communicated a complete product will be received and the suppliers distributor supplies only what he has created from those music scales, not the artist. The artists are gullible enough to go along with the music dealership scams and the administrations in many nations are gullible enough to allow artists to front the works to others to acomplish thus calling that a copyright matter which is being claimed by the dealers to be infringeable and some claim infringement by those whom purchase it and change it to their correct standard (ASCII TEXT) where the artists stand in the creation of the music scale from the beginning of copyrightable time b ut nothing generated a signature showing the artists are not the originators of what is being sold and distributed and the only legal issue is infringement of a dealers organized method. Its the dealer that is benefiting from the issue of infringement and sharers do not even fit into the same criteria, in fact what they receive in WYSIWYG has not infringed any supplier either. If Microsoft ever changes notepad to support the character text matters that copy/paste to and from the notepad equally the same no matter how many times its done then Microsoft might have a legal copyright to claim but its the patents fault that serves the materials to Internet individuals that find it necessary to not only read but to stor as well for comparison in issues that occure later on down the road. The same is true in music, bands cease to produce a variety of genre and another band will generate a new genre with entirely the same wordings but different tunes and it might come over as a hit while the original artists that created the tune failed to attain a hit from it because of the genre, hip-hop music and rapper music is somewhat more attune to generating a similar worded tune with different music accompaniments and attaining a hit faster than a country musician or a orchestra big time band. Placing restrictions on music does not comply to patent usage because in a free world democracy monopolizing product supply and demand is illegal. Anyonme such as John Kerry that monopolizes Vietnam for his own use during a 4 month tour of duty that could have involved 1.9 months getting there and 1.9 months getting back and only .2 months of actually being where he is stating he was at in Vietnam. The dealer in this issue is John Kerry and he has no answers otherthan a compliance to a 2-year college degree the V.P. has is better than a 4-month tour of duty and allowing the people to vote on that issue regardless of whether it is a issue a President might have to comply to. Kerry is simply monopolizing the truth too generate votes for his win in the election, using a few words in copyright issue to claim a higher position. Theres nothing to a election process of candidates seeking higher recognition from each other being construed as a copyright infringement, the books are just being published as such to comply to whats being said and shown, or as close to as is possible and in John Kerry's issue far from the actual events and comrades or there would have been a few arrests supporting claims to facts by administrators claiming (ANTI-P2P 'FBI' BILL). 100 year patent organizers know what happened to John Kerry and whats happened to George Bush is past documentation, nothing to the necessity of The Office of Presidency and certainly not complying to copyright sharing and certificate issuances bearing signatures of the dealers responsible of the claims of copyright. A dealer can set forth a single copyright document and it be useful for the duration of copyright pertaining to the matters which are supporting the claim to copyright afforded by everyone accommidating the dealer so the dealer can construe another when the time arives to attain another backup extension of copyright. Supporting dealers propositions is not securing the government anymore money than if the dealer had fifty extensions already behind him. The extension is for the dealer not every single artist because ever artist is a supporter of the dealer if so and certainly does not pertain to the matters the dealers have afforded others to generate products from items submittted by artists which could be massive printed covers without glued cardboard sheeting so to be capable to add something to the jacket sleeve before it is plastic wrapped like a supported dealer logo or sale criteria or fund raiser activity location scoop. Adminstrators have failed to realize the truth in lending act, Americans are being lied to up their snoots. Find some time to investigate more into whom is supplying Kerry with arms to counter terrorist attackers besides the 'FBI' they come as a freebee for candidates.

Someone Should Bring It To The Attention Of Such People That Any 12 Year Old Child With Even Limited Access To A Computer Can More Than Accuratly Describe The Proper Precedure To FDISK A Hardrive (Format)...

I'd Go So Far To Say That It Isn't The 45 Year Old Computer Hackers The Government Needs To Be Wary Of, It's The 16 Year Old Kid Who Spends 4 Hours A Day Reading C++ Manuals And Researching The Everyday Methods By Which We Operate Our Internet Friendly Environment. My Point Here Is This: I For One, And Several Others I Assume, Simply Do Not Care. They Can Take All The Steps And Precautions They Wish, And That Will Still Not Damper My Use Of The P2P Networking System. Computer Virus' Are An Easy Fix... I Have More Than One Computer, And All The Important, Sensitive, Top Secret Material That I Wouldn't Want Anyone Using Is Stored On The One NOT CONNECTED To The Internet... Brilliant, I Know. While I Agree That Artists Should Recieve Credit And Or Funding For The Works That We Download, I Believe Their Needs To Be A More Current, And More In Depth Review Of How It Is ACTUALLY Impacting The Artist As A Whole. I've Downloaded Over 25,000 Files. Self Incrimination, Maybe... But If I Hear Something I Like, I Purchase The CD. I Have A CD Burner, I Also Own A DVD Burner, Of Course I Use Them--However The Majority Of Music That I End Up Listening To And Liking Is That Which, Under Normal Circumstances, I Would Have Not Heard Without The Assistance Of Such P2P Networking Programs. Thus, The Obscure Artists Whom Don't Get The Radio Play Or MTV Time That Say, Britney Spears, Recieves Would Not Benefit From The Money That I Am Without A Doubt Spending For Their "Copywrited Intellectual Property". Sales, Despite The P2P Network, Has Gone Up. Personally, And Perhaps A Little Extreme, I Believe People In Congress Are A Little Scared That The Youths Of The Nation Are Getting Smarter And More Advanced Than They Believe They Can Handle. Thus The Reason Behind Such An Avid Push For This Bill. This Is Not A Government Issue, We Are Not Trading Governmental Secrets To Some Hostile Country... If Anything, This Is A Business Problem... And Many Artists Have Handled It As Such, Releasing Portions Of Their Songs Onto These P2P Networks To Get Their Sound Out And Message Heard, And Including Breaks In The Song, Or Beeps, Bleeps, Buzzes, Hell--Anything To Insure It Isnt The Full Song. That's Probably The Most Effective, And Best Step In Assuring The Artist Gets The Money They Deserve For Their Time And Effort. As Pointed Out Already, The 4000 Lawsuits They've Filed Against The College Kids DID NOT, I REPEAT, DID NOT DETER The Use Of These P2P Networks, And For Once--Someone In Congress Noticed That The Approach They Are Taking Is Way Off Base.
