Man facing jail time for embedding video

Is it just me or is anyone else wondering what this has to do with homeland security talk about being in the back pocket

It seems like a twisted report to me....but:

For File Shering ? Give me a F***** Break here !
What is next? ....The govt. trolling forums ?

The internet is all about links !!!

This is another sample that the Laws in USA, etc. are made to protect rich people, media Corporations interest and their greed !

How about those criminals on Wall Street ?

Why Isn't Wall Street in Jail?
Financial crooks brought down the world's economy — but the feds are doing more to protect them than to prosecute them....

How about BOA (Bank of America):

DHS is composed of multiple federal law enforcement agencies...not just anti-terrorism/etc.

Perhaps, but when they demand more funding, they never say that they want to sue people for having links to Youtube videos...they always say it is to fight terrorism.

I guess they have to do something tho...I mean when the terrorist leaders are dining with heads of state inside the Pentagon, it is clear that you cannot go after the terrorists without going after the most powerful men in the US government ( http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/10/20/al-qaeda-terror-leader-dined-pentagon-months/ )...so rather than dicking around pretending to fail to find their terrorists bosses, they just attack people who post links to things that have links to things that may or may not be illegal.

[sarcasm]Thank you DHS, I am so relieved that you busted some guy for posting a link to a website that I don't even mind that the government is being run by terrorist masterminds who have attacked the USA before.[/sarcasm]

DHS...how about this?: We give you your blood money, and you just go on vacation. It is a given that you will do nothing good, so just doing nothing at all would be a huge improvement.

Is wallstreet legal?
don't they say bring your own money? ;)

All the more reason IP needs to either be limited to 5 years before falling to public domain or distribution (links,indexing,ect) can only be questioned if their is monetary gain involved(donations,ad rev,illicit sale).

I personally like the model you are describing, due to the fact that if you make money off of someone elses work then they will go after but if you do not then you dont have anything to worry about.... *** Shouldnt Someone Look At YouTube ***

So is the article headline wrong? The story just says a link was posted while the headline says video was embedded?

Pretty soon, sites linking to sites linking to illegal content will be illegal. Better start going after search engines like Google and Bing next.

They should make a law that says that going to a site with pirated content is illegal...that way, it would be illegal for investigators to go to the sites!

Oh wait, these people don't care about the law unless it is someone else breaking it.

This is a perfect example why you should never ask the government to regulate anything. They always abuse their power and turn on it's own citizens. They have no accountability. This is government Intrusion into your private life
What started out to be a shield for terrorist is now an enemy of the people.
