Topic: Copywrite Police?
Subject: Worse than that
It IS kind of strange how they allow blank DVD's and CD's, and Burners/burning software to be so uncontrolled, in a world where someone might get the bright idea to copy an album without paying for it.
But then again, you have to take into account the bands who LIKE their music stolen and spread. Take Nine Inch Nails, for example. At a concert, they left dozens of USB jump-drives with full MP3s of their songs -in the bathrooms!-
Dozens more of bands allow you to download most of their albums straight off their websites!
Seems to me the only people freaking out about "copyright infringement" is the government.

Topic: Copywrite Police?
Subject: Well
Well, that's not really the part that bothers me. Sure, if you're stealing album after album off of some file-sharing program like Morpheus or Limewire, where no one gets actually paid, sure I can see that.
But I don't think people should be fined and get their stuff taken/destroyed just because of copyrighted material.
It's not like I condone stealing, (which technically it IS, I know) but losing a $1500 Sony Viao (on top of a fine!) because you have a friend's CD ripped onto it is completely out of context.

Hey all, I just heard this news on the radio, it's 3 day old news up here, but I just thought I might let everybody know.
Apparently, the Federal Government here in Canada is thinking, along with other governments around the globe including the US and the UK, to revamp the Copyright laws to the point where electronic devices, (Ipods, mp3 players, laptops, probably even desktops) and the files contained therein, will be subject to inspection and investigation as to whether they're legal or not.
That means all those songs that you have on your Ipod that your friend copied onto your computer could wind up with you getting a fat fine, your device taken away, and possibly -destroyed-.
Also contained in that document is a law stating that Internet Service Providers must hand over the information on select customers -without- a court order!
What has the world come to?

Bands? Otep, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cannibal Corpse, Dimmu Borgir, Old Man’s Child, Sinnis (My own band. ^_^), System of a Down, Rammstein, Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Bob Seager, etc... In no particular order. I'm all over the place.
Places? Greece would be awesome, Canada (for obvious reasons. *waves to Stacey*), Russia would be cool.

Speaking of avatars, I just stole the one I use on Deviantart off my account to use it here, but it's animated, and Right after I submitted it, I read the thing saying "it must not be animated" so I was like.
... Crap.
So, if you scroll over it, deny it, ok?
Thanks in advance.

Make it harder to get in, like you have to have a profile and everything... I guess...
I dunno if that's currently being worked on, but I thought I'd say something, as the official Wal-mart greeter of the chatroom, as people like to say. : p
