The PRO-IP act has been signed by President Bush, which means that if the RIAA/MPAA finds any pirated stuff on your computer, they could potentially sieze your computer and all portable media devices with pirated content on them. This is bullpoop, seriously. Way to go, Congress. Instead of worrying about our economy or other really important stuff, you go after people downloading Bioshock or whatever. Good job.

If you're only downloading songs, it probably won't be much of a problem. If you're torrenting thousand dollar programs like photoshop, movies, or games, it's not so good.

Another reason to get GIMP?

This reminds me of that period in the 90's when there was a war going on and all the bills in Congress were about breakfast cereal and video games.

Speaking of which, this better not apply to roms.

Does downloading thousands of free songs on Limewire count? D:

Unless a Liberal government is elected, in which case it'll be illegal. Of a Conservative minority. Or NDP elected. Or Green. Or BQ. You better hope for a Conservative majority, or else I'll laugh my ass off at your post.

Uhh,

1. the BQ can't win an election, the NDP and Greens will never, ever come remotely close.

2. The Conservatives were the ones who initiated the RIAAish bill in the first place.  however, itll never get passed, because it didnt get passed before summer kicked in, and will therefore be forgotten about.
