Will Bush ever instruct the DoJ to investigate Berman, and Lamar, and all the other politicians like Terminator Hatch who are being paid by the movie studios and record labels?

QUOTE:”I’ve never had a situation like this before, where there are powerful plaintiffs and powerful lawyers on one side and then a whole slew of ordinary folks on the other side,” said US district judge Nancy Gertner recently.

She obviously hasn’t been paying attention. DirectTV pulled exactly this same stunt against hundreds of people who bought legal smartcard programmers, claiming the mere PURCHASE of the equipment was evidence of “theft of services” from DirectTV.

Sure, some were guilty. But the “we’re bigger than you are, so you have to pay us money” mentality is extortion, pure and simple.

Would you be ready to take the risk to lose everything you own?
You have to be prepared for that to go to court.

The music industry brainwashes the media to believe that
one download = one album stolen.

Meanwhile, in reality, we can easily see that downloading
anything does not in fact remove any kind of property from anyone.
If anything it CREATES material.

Typical american system. I don’t know why nobody from the EFF or any other eager young lawyer hasn’t taken up the cause to defend these people.

I admire the USA in many respects, but on this one, they are fucked.

Really fucked.
