Also, I've never understood why the MPAA are so frightened of people purchasing really poor-quality cam versions of films. Surely it's a tax on the stupid - for not much more you can actually go and watch the original, so why on earth would you want some camcorder crap? And as for the unusual punishment thing, it has to be pointed out it's usually cited as a deterant, but then frightening innocent consumers into not touching their IP is what the MPAA is all about.

It'sabout time that lawyers and legislators be forced to read the American Constitution. It prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment", If before the "Family and Entertainment Copyright Act" the ususual punishment for using a legally purchased camera was none, then any punishment for using a camera is unusual by definition. Family and Entertainment Copyright Act, what a beautiful and friendly name. "The Gestapo Copyright Act" would have been more descriptive and accurate.

By the way, a local armed bank robber got less than eight years in prison. Many paedophiles get even less. I HATE the political system in the P.S.A. (Ploice States of America). I wouldn't feel a bit bad if most of the judges and politicians in the P.S.A. were hung, shot, or tarred and feathered so long as they are replaced by people who actually respect and obey the Constitution to the best of their knowlege. If anyone reading this gets a jury summons, please visit http://www.fija.org to learn about just how much say you actually have in a trial.
