Title: BUSH supports stiffer penalties for file-sharing
Post by: W1nTry on April 28, 2005, 03:41:19 PM

THough I wanted to put this in the p2p in trouble thread I will place it here since its of a political nature. READ THIS:

PRESIDENT BUSH of America scrawled an 'X' on a bill designed to send file-sharing pirates to prison.

The Family Entertainment and Copyright Act says file-sharers peddling pre-release copies of feature films could face three years in a federal clink.

Motion Picture Association of America president Dan Glickman was well chuffed. He said he wanted to "thank the congressional sponsors of this legislation for their strong advocacy for intellectual property rights."

The bill will also legalise a clamp-down on sneaks filming movies in cinemas will also allowing parents to edit filth from films before their kids see it.
