See here... Quote: |
Backed by the RIAA and MPAA, the PRO-IP Act has drawn criticism for its potential for extreme punishment. In its proposed state, the act could grant the government permission to seize all computers and compatible devices from a home if a single, pirated MP3 was discovered on one of the machines. So, about that approval rating ...
| Great.  | |

We don't have those kinds of nutjob government agencies (in my country at least).
So it's still safe.
Though for many occasions, they (RIAA and MPAA) often hold visit our country to hold lectures and seminars on how to arrest IPR and media piracy violators.
I just hope though that they don't start doing those things here.
P.S.
Oh and btw (before anyone calls me a hypocrite)
This is coming from someone who has bought original products.
Proof:
-My Fate Stay Night Volume 1 DVD is original (bought it from Amazon w/ shipping)
-Kenny G album bought at local record store
-All my PSP games (less than five titles ) are original UMDs
-Monty Python DVD is original from America
So there.

Tracing internet activity (hey, they already can monitor that, ISPs are just too lazy to send records).
Giving monetary perks to high school teachers for ratting out students who talk about downloading music.
I dunno.
Probably will wind up like other anti-piracy legislature: unenforced.

Agree with unenforced argument, however, there is a point to this, when they do catch someone, they can now really hose them down with bullshit.
