I don't understand this stupid world anymore.

welcome to the club just glad I know a few magistrates n they like p2p actually

lets see were it goes

---

...there was never justice out there, you only make it and fight it for yourself; as for "the issue" mmm... I think people will buy if they LOVE something and the rest will go on copy...

Looks like here in NY we have some Judges that are making laws too. The hand writing is on the wall. We have to find a meaningfull way to remove these judges, who apparently are in the pockets of the Movie Moguls.

Its the "Golden Rule" all over again folks. He who has the Gold, makes the Rules!!!

What is really going down the tubes here is American citizen's fair use rights where digital media is concerned, not one piece of software. Just another "unintended" (yeah right) consequence of the DMCA. So the bottom line is that any "owner" of digital media needs only to build in a copy protection scheme no matter how weak or ineffectual to effectively exempt that work from fair use doctrine. Clearly there was never any intention or attempt on the part of our legislators or legal system to protect the fair use rights and interests of the public. Combine this with the recent changes and bizarre interpretations of patent and public domain law and a clear pattern begins to emerge. Where digital media is concerned, the rights of the consumer be damned.

It still all boils down to some out-of-step judges, ruling on issues of law, as if they were the ones who initiated the laws. Our State Legislators and Congressmen have got to get into the issues that involve the public and stop allowing the judges to take legislative rights away from our Representatives.

What really irks me is that fair use provisions have been around quite awhile ensuring our absolute right to back up our legally owned media yet these idiot judges choose to let a newer special-interest driven law like dmca take precedence. In the eyes of these judges, our consumer rights can legally be trampled by corporations.

The corporations couldn'y take away out fair use rights directly so they did the next best thing.

How many of those Judges will be accepting "contributions" from those very same corporations they just ruled in favor of? If you don't think Justice in America is bought and paid for, just keep track of these rulings as they are made. The scariest thing is, Courts worldwide are using these blatantly skewed rulings by American Judges as a template.

Its America today, Its you tomorrow. Wake up before the StormTroopers will be kicking down your door to check your hard drives or you'll be taking out a second mortgage to pay the RIAA/MPAA Cabal.

its not america- its the whole fucking planet. "money makes the world go round" you can do anything ANYWARE if you have money

Hell you know the fucking judges in for life. And yes money dose make the world go round. If you have the money you can make the world what you what it to be. Look at all the fucking rich and powerful in W.D.C. and the so calld movie stars Fuck all of them.I'm just like Nephilim I don't understand this stupid world (over 70 and stell going)

Get the pont?

It's easy to understand the world - it revolves around the golden rule - "He who haveth the gold, maketh the rules."

Large corps have been trampling on consumers before the turn of last century... it's not going to stop anytime soon. Most politicians get caught up in their power trips and their special interest money to care about their constituents.

I think they went about this all the wrong way. Anyone new to this field or creating a new program call it a restoration. Copy just sounds bad, but restoration is better and is what people are actually using it for!!!
