Bush signs controversial anti-piracy law

[Spanishpeacock]

Bush is an idiot. And again as one of my countrymen has said earlier, my apologies for my country.

If asked, they probably would bring up figures that would look as shady as the sale's receipt for a brand new car out of a new car dealership.

It just astounds me as to how this man is worried about such matters, than the one that is most important, the economy, but being the fact that the man was elected into office shows how many idiots live in America. (I had the pleasure of not voting for him).

If you remember, he lost the populous vote, it's the idiots in office that kept him in. This whole world is corrupt.

Thanx god I live in Greece. No mater how insane a law is, no one bothers to hunt us here.
Bush is an idiot, but i'm not the one who voted him.

So what should have been done? Lower penalties for piracy?

[havoc_012]

Guess this is priority #1 for the Bush Administration. This, the DMCA, and the Patriot Act. Infringing your liberties in every possible way.

How about saving that money to do some thing more productive, like bringing the troops home?

OMG United States is disappointing me more every day >_>

Well, I don't disagree with anti-piracy laws. Sure, it sucks, but whatever.
What I do disagree with is the fact that instead of fixing our economy, or finishing a war, the government is more concerned with arresting people committing petty theft.
Good job government, keep the streets clean for real criminals, like murderers and rapists.

Awesome how you guys completely overlook the fact that this already passed in the Senate and House before reaching his desk, but zero right in on Bush. Groupthink FTL. You want change, start voting out the legislators.

More constriction causes more rebellion, and who are these commoners with a high seat of power to fine me?

Still, people dug their own grave on this one. One pirate could spread the word on to ten more people, who spread it on even more until piracy is hurting companies.

Let's just add in another 750 billion to our 750 billion dollar bailout package and that should take care of us for the next three years right?!! OR would they just come back for more each month after that squabbling for more money. Will our banks make any better loans after the money is gone?! let us know what you think

American innovation? The last movie I've seen that was actually new was Idiocracy. Everything else is the same formula rehashed.

1) Then you don't watch enough movies. If you live in another country... then you just admitted that the last original movie you saw was American... so what's your point?

2) We're also talking about music here too. You go ahead and show me a country on this planet that doesn't have music in the Jazz, Rock, Country, Alternative, Rap, R&B, or Hip Hop genres BY or INFLUENCED BY American artists. (not all at once, but at least one of these)

3) I'm not foolish enough to think or say that most things started in America but there are far too many things that originated here that people don't realize. Mostly because other countries ripped us off and did things either cheaper, better, or both... but still... give America at least a tad bit of freakin' credit here!

Take the Television remote control for instance. Nearly every modern household in the world has one (or several). Zenith Electronics, Chicago, Il.

Err... nevermind that one.. how about: the Artificial Heart, the Light Bulb, the Sewing Machine, and the COMPUTER!
