So now there's a
bill law that says that for schools which are publicly funded, the ones with the highest number of copyright infringement notices will be investigated and their funding will change depending on the results.
Really. To some this may sound like a good idea. I assure you that it is not. First of all, I don't care whether you are for or against pirating. Technically this law has nothing to do with any crimes. It has to do specifically with the amount of notices of infringement are sent. Yes, RIAA and MPAA, I can see you fondling the senate under the table and that's simply not appropriate. At a time when the RIAA is starting to falter in court on both how they glean information about people as well as whether they really should be pulling those people into court to begin with why is the government giving them more power? Additionally, why is it suddenly a university's responsibility to preemptively enforce copyright law? That sounds like a job for the police.
MP/RIAA buys government. Government strong-arms schools. Schools become police forces for MP/RIAA. Well, that certainly isn't comforting.
Of course, what do you expect from a president who bought his way to power and has an
illustrious family
legacy of
supporting fascist policy to overcome the established ruling system of the day.
Completely unrelated note: Does anyone out there use
Twitter?
