Winterclaw, after getting deeper into this bill (what a fargin' mess this thing is) I can see why the MPAA people are behind it...

Jen I see the pharmaceutical reference, I'm still trying to figure out what that has to do with the true definition of "online piracy"....unless they have redefined it to mean "stealing people's money" or it's just something that was piggybacked onto it to get it passed.

I have a headache from trying to figure out just what the heck this bill is about. It was brought to my attention by someone that watchdogs bills pretty much, and they wanted me to sign a petition or write my rep about it.  Bottom line is I don't write anyone or pass info along until I look it over myself.  I figured you all might be good second sets of eyes as well :) since anytime the term "piracy" and "intellectual property" comes up it definately is something we as artists and merchants should at least glance at to try to figure out just what's going on. :)
