Dear GOD I hope you aren't serious about that.
Huzza for me I guess.
the EU better not sign that shit.
But i know they will, because they don't have a clue about what this is and how it works. Some people spend weeks on preparing their propaganda and they all buy into it.

I'm superduper serious.
Wow for the once the ineffectiveness of international law is a good thing!

Fun fact, in the Netherlands it's actually not illegal to download music or movies.[/QUOTE]
Actually that's the case in very many EU nations, in part due to the fact that software companies push forward that an install or license of a software is not ownership therein but merely a right of usage.
Hence the downloading itself is usually seen as unlawful enrichment at most if anything. The criminal part is usually uploading the file (enabling others to commit a crime). Of course due to the the nature of p2p software that's more or less impossible to avoid.
Go corpocracy!
Alright, so it's gotten thus far. Now we're going to use other means of getting music illegally, without them knowing. Seriously, it's not going to stop.
1xDumb for whomever may have been signing it.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;32633906]Nothing will happen.
They will never enforce this, ever.
Unless they want to throw tens or even hundreds of millions internet users in jail.[/QUOTE]
And then suddenly the anti-piracy hitmen bust down every pirate's door.
Time to find out a way to smash my computer quickly in case anybody comes knocking to my door. Nobodies life deserves to be fucking ruined for downloading music.

It was already refused once in the EU

EMP in your house, activate it when they knock on your door, say you're Amish and enjoy computers as decorations? :v:
Or just a shitload of locks on a thick metal-reinforced door that can't be busted down in seconds. Preferably one that opens outwards. Say you'll go get a key, be back in a minute. Press the wipe button, pulverize the hard drives, flush them down the toilet.
Then it turns out they weren't cops, but rather a pair of plumbers.
This doesn't change the piracy situation one bit.
If the US can't enforce this for shit, what makes anyone think adopting countries will even give a shit to enforce it properly.
Edit:
How bout a bluetooth deadmans switch. Maybe integrated into an app on your iphone that looks like its for connecting to your car stereo.
The bluetooth switch sets off chemicals that you've pre-planted in your hard drives, dissolving all written information on the disks. Maybe even an acid strong enough to eat through the metal.
This way, you can set it off right in front of the dumb asses looking at your computer, and they'd never know until it's too late to convict you with any proof.
"We can stop online pirates who make digital copies of files"
OR
"We can stop pirates who kidnap and kill people for money"
What sounds better to you?

Downloading music is terrible. Charging people $50,000 for downloading a $0.99 song illegally is a step in the right direction.

I've always liked this argument.
But there is only one flaw. What about the music that isn't posted on the internet for purchase?
And what if we also can't find this music in stores to buy on vinyl or CD?
What do?
Sometimes downloading 'illegally' is the only way to get a song that you love.
Everyone does things that other people wouldn't deem to be 'right' but it's not always a black and white circumstance.
I'll always keep in mind all these persons sued for having downloaded the demo of Call of Juarez, because the publisher thought it was the actual game.
I'm sure China will love the extra business.
Yeah sure it's not like most of the people who pirate this shit [b]can't afford it[/b] in the first place!
[QUOTE=GlebGuy;32639903]Yeah sure it's not like most of the people who pirate this shit [b]can't afford it[/b] in the first place![/QUOTE]
It's not a matter of affording the music, most people can do that, it's just please justify how pirating one song incurs $50,000 in damages.
I'm really curious how charging such an exorbitant amount of money for a simple song is justified.
You'd figure it'd have to be smaller in accordance with the eighth amendment.
And then suddenly all jails become overcrowded
[QUOTE=Mr.Fancy_hat;32640272]And then suddenly all jails become overcrowded[/QUOTE]
All jails are already overcrowded. Mostly due to the 'war on drugs'.

It's not like this is the end of piracy, it really changes little to nothing except imposing US antipiracy practices on other countries.
Everyone! Do revolution! Download [I]as many[/I] songs as you can illegally! They will sure get busy.

This will only speed up the process and heighten the urgency for these fatman corporations.
What really needs to happen is the people in charge with these ideologies must be taken out.
