    It was nice knowing you, world. Hope we'll be able to talk after ACTA passes.
  2. I'm tired of these rich people paying our representatives to remove our Constitutional protected rights.

    The MPAA, RAIA, etc. need to be thrown in jail. Hell they have broken more laws than anyone posting a movie or video. They break into web sites, they threaten ISP's, they do all sorts of illegal things but never seem to go to jail over it. I wonder why? Could it be all the money lining our representatives pockets.

    Copyright and patent law needs to be returned to the way our founding fathers set them up, these newer laws should have been judged as unconstitutional.

    Movie and recording company's make billions and billions of dollars and with expenses dropping threw use of new internet based media and yet they want more, they sue people for painting a few cartoon characters at a day care center, they sue people for posting movies from the 50's, they sue kids for trading a mp3. they list goes one and on.
  3. Well said, my friend!
  4. @ #37 - honestly, do you think the additional income would go the the poor set mover or other such working person? No, it would only serve to further fatten the wallets of the execs and such. And THAT is why I have little sympathy for MPAA and other such retards.
