I guess you haven't seen the new proposed bill? The one supported by Sen. Hatch. In addition to fines and jail time, the RIAA will be given the legal authority to destroy the PC of anyone it suspects of filesharing. Note the keyword is suspect, that means there is no trial, there is no warrant issued, no court order, the RIAA can simply do it if they believe you are trading files. Think thats bad? Well wait till you hear the next part of the bill! If the RIAA mistakenly destroys the computer of someone who was NOT illegally trading files, the RIAA is in NO way responsible for any damages, that includes loss of files, loss of wages, or anything. In essence, the bill proposes that the RIAA become our supreme law enforcement agency with absolutely no government oversight whatsoever. Yup thats right, millions of our tax dollars are being wasted debating this utterly stupid bill while at the same time unemployment is high, people are living on the streets, families are starving to death... but lets make sure the RIAA has the power to destroy the PCs of people they believe are sharing mp3s!
