HR4077 Passed the House
This sucks. If you live in the states, RIAA can send you to jail.

But we just found out that HR 4077 passed in the House this afternoon. This major label dream-law would send people to jail for sharing 1,000 songs, or just one unreleased album. That's right, up to 5 years in jail for sharing one album. It passed on a voice vote, so you can't even go see if your Congressperson supported it-- their votes simply aren't on record. They'll send hundreds kids to jail as a favor to some corrupt industry but they won't put their names on it. Cowards.

Just what the world needs - more people tossed into jail for no good reason. I suppose using the space for those who really should be locked up was just a silly plan, then.

I'm going to go listen to Prison Song now. At least System of a Down understands.  ¶ 11:59 p.m.
