..including making "illegal streaming" of audio or video a federal felony and allowing FBI agents to wiretap

So...this gives them just one more reason to wiretap all of us.

Fucking wonderful, just what we need: A central government more worried about someone watching pirated movies than they are paying their own fucking bills.

Keep in mind: If I steal copyrighted material online, its a Felony. I can never vote again.

However, if I steal the actual CD from the store, its a misdemeanor.

Now why in the hell is everything all about "share with your peers" or "copy and paste the link to share media with friends!" and then we get arrested for doing so? There is an option right on here for youtube and youtube puts up songs and videos and encourages us to share with people, so why the hell is it wrong?

Our government is really thinking ass backwards with this. God will punish our leaders because He wants everyone to have access to free power metal 24/7, or so I reckon.



Am I wire tapped now? Go ahead, I'm very boring.
