Entertainment Oligopoly Un-American CNet. Congress and the RIAA are pressuring the Justice department to apply the NET Act against P2P users. That would make sharing over $1000 in copyrighted material a felony punishable by one year in jail. This would effectively make 40 m Americans felons. Of course, this gets worse when you consider that felons can't vote. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
What a fantastic strategy. There's a huge untapped market out there just waiting to be served, and the recording industry giants stand to make billions of dollars. But instead they've decided to put their customers in jail.
This is not how America is supposed to work. The behaviour of the Entertainment Oligopoly is deeply, deeply un-American.
