In the USA, news broke today that Bush White House is lobbying congress to make 'attempted copyright violations' a felony, punishable by many years in prison. In kind of a play on Roy Roger's sentiment that he 'never met a person he didn't like'...Bush never met a person he wouldn't throw in jail. What Bush forgets, is its the people who decide how to run society. It may be currently illegal to 'pirate' music...but this can be solved, by simply passing a law, making it legal to copy music. Protection of an artists income can be done in many ways. It doesn't have to be a game of throwing teenagers in jail, making them felons, and never allowing them to vote or even work a normal job again in their life....that type of answer, isn't the only answer to problems.
