Quote:

Rep. Howard L. Berman, D-Calif., formally proposed legislation that would give the industry unprecedented new authority to secretly hack into consumers' computers or knock them off-line entirely if they are caught downloading copyrighted material.

"There is no excuse or justification for this piracy," said Berman, the leading recipient in the House of campaign contributions from the television, music and movie industries. "Theft is theft, whether it is shoplifting a CD in a record store or illegally downloading a song."

This crap just makes me sick. So they say that even if you legally own a CD but rip it into MP3 on your computer you can be sent to jail? What a load of bull bollocks! Grrr. You can be sure Berman has illegally taped VHS media in his home. Even taping a movie off of cable is not considered technically legal.
