anti file sharing policies

i hope this isn't too much politics. I figured most everyone here could get behind something like this. But, I won't be offended if the mods feel they need to drop the bomb on this.
Thanks

* Sink the PIRATE Act

The PIRATE Act (S.2237) is yet another attempt to make taxpayers fund
the misguided war on file sharing, and it's moving fast. The bill
would allow the government to file civil copyright lawsuits in
addition to criminal prosecutions, dramatically lowering the burden
of proof and adding to the thousands of suits already filed by
record companies. It would also force the American public to pay
the legal bills of foreign record companies like Bertelsmann,
Vivendi Universal, EMI, and Sony. Meanwhile, not a penny from
the lawsuits goes to the artists.

Don't let the record industry use your hard-earned dollars to pursue
this fruitless war; tell Congress to sink the PIRATE Act!

I often wonder, if so many of us can see why something makes no sense, why can't our fearless leaders...then I remember the answer and feel sort of depressed.


I pay for all my CD's. I think the Pirate act is asinine.
