  Local family sued by record companieshttp://news.mywebpal.com/news_tool_v2.c ... 11575&on=1
[quote] A Rockmart family is being sued for illegal music file sharing, despite the fact that they don’t even own a computer. A federal lawsuit filed this week in Rome by the Recording Industry Association of America alleges that Carma Walls, of 117 Morgan St., Rockmart, has infringed on copyrights for recorded music by sharing files over the Internet. The lawsuit seeks an injunction and requests unspecified monetary damages. The lawsuit states, “Plaintiffs are informed and believe that Defendant, without the permission or consent of Plaintiffs, has used, and continues to use, an online media distribution system to download the copyrighted recordings, to distribute the copyrighted recordings to the public, and/or to make the copyrighted recordings available for distribution to others.†_________________ Contrary to popular belief, America is not a democracy, it is a Chucktatorship. |

not only that, but Congress keeps passing new laws to make the entertainment industry even more powerful.

And thanks to the EU, we'll see similar laws in Europe within a few years.

It's not thanks to the EU, it's thanks to the big companies pressuring politics into 'protecting' them; domestic or European. Ppl seem to blame the EU for everything these days.
The only difference is that with the existence of the EU laws such as these are more rapidly applicable to all members; instead of the companies having to lobby each country seperately...in this case that sucks, but in general I'd say such efficiency is great. If used for the right things, obviously...but that goes for a lot of things. Things can get véry ugly if you don't use a spoon for the right thing, too. _________________ "I find a Burger Tank in this place? I'm-a be a one-man cheeseburger apocalypse." - Coach |

Corporations would have a harder time lobbying such laws in the Dutch government, because that's closer to the people. It's democratic. Corporations have no hard time at all lobbying in the EU, since it lacks a lot of democratic checks.
I like the idea of the EU and the Euro, but it's failing on too many fronts at the moment. And it's not like Norway and Switzerland are doing badly outside the EU. So what's the big succes? _________________ Melchett: As private parts to the gods are we: they play with us for their sport! |
