Solve : US seeks to criminalize 'attempted' piracy? |
|
Answer» The US Department of Justice is proposing stiffer PENALTIES for software copyright violators, such as the criminalization of "attempted" piracy and foregoing the necessity of patent registration before prosecution. "There are 2 things in Life you never want to see being made...sausage and legislation..."Well,in the USA they made telemarketing Illegal and we get more than we did. They should also make postal junk mail illegal but,that would make me cry. They did also try to CRIMINALIZE illegal immigration. Nathan,that was still a good article.I enjoy your posts.Yeah interesting read, kind of reminds me of the Minority Report movie, where you get convicted of a brutal act such as killing before you even do it. So don't think about piracy or you might get arrested. Regarding the telemarketing being illegal in the US, I thought it was the best thing ever to happen. I get a lot less calls because of it. Of course for it to work you must have registered on the do not call list. https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx If you did and you still get calls it's against the law and simply stating that to the telemarketer will get their attention and get you removed from their list."Attempted piracy"? The movie and music giants will abuse it just like everything else. Its a way for the rich to get richer and poor to get poorer. Citizen: But I paid $200 for this software Enforcer: So you say Citizen: I ordered directly from the manufacturer Enforcer: We don't care where you got it. If you can't show a signed valid receipt, your guilty. Your going to prison for 20 years. A month later: Judge: The software is on your computer. You don't have a signed receipt. Citizen: But I....... Judge: Silence! (pause) Judge: You also have in your possesion a copied CD. Citizen: But thats a bac........ Judge: Silence! Or I'll find you in comtempt! (pause) Judge: You are sentenced to 20 years in federal prison. All your equipment and software will be confiscated. I'm issueing a bench warrant for the arrest of your parents. They will be charged with harboring a criminal and aiding and abetting a CRIME. Balloff, remove this criminal from my courtroom. Software, movie, and music company lawyers (grinning from ear to ear): No more backup or work copies. Damned thieves! They'll have to buy two copies now. 2k_dummy has done been in one of them thar courts afore. Good case layout 2k. Must not ever own new software. Make-um judge heap plenty mad when accused says" Get Your Own Box! Judge says"Bailiff give me some of those thar Cheez-ITZ! |
