FBI Spotlights Digital Piracy

[NeonWizard]

The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced a new antipiracy warning label Thursday that will be used on digital music, movies and software, cautioning of legal consequences for people involved in piracy.

The new initiative is part of an increased FBI focus on digital piracy, bureau officials said. While no details were available, officials said that more money and manpower would be devoted to tracking down organized online piracy groups.

Can we expect it to be as effective as the warning that is put on videocassette movies?

:Dlol i don't know I'm kinda what you call an A"moralist in this respect.

piracy is bad but what really is piracy.

from the programmers and company's view piracy is any copy of owned material with out actual purchase period.

to the government its some what an excuse to abuse the internet and police what was intended as a digital freedom of information between private owners and public users which was or should had been protected by freedom of information,freedom of press as well as user privacy.

basic a free for all multi cyber space of communication

locked dowen an become an repress people told how to think and what you cant or can say even digitally.

then you got these groups who basically publish where to go what to do to get it all for free.

to me pirates are people who upload payed ware programs of privately owen copyright protected software simply as that.

but should one be considered a pirate for receiving free software from people or reading who's giving out free money

if i were to throw a bunch of stolen bank money in the middle of the ghetto and every one went rushing for free money would that make them criminals.

in my mind no I'm the criminal all for jacking money and giving it to every one its some ones Else's money not my owen.

but should people that went grabbing for free cash be sent to prison?

its the american way to get ahead and if some one starts throwing free cash in the middle of Manhattan square you best believe your a$$ you be right there with a smile ;D saying gimme gimme.

theres allot of programmers who wish that up-loaders and dowenloaders should be treated the same.

remember when you were first on the pc an inexperienced you had lots of spam saying big letters free stuff always a scam or strings.

then you wonder in looking at google cause you heard this thing called a program for pc was really cool .

you look in google for it and wallah you see the name.

you click a link and some guy says here have it you say ok.

some people on the net for the first time are clueless and often do download illegal material not aware of the law Norw if the person giving alway the stuff isn't the actual company.

most company's offer free demos.

by the way i get no love here for stateing this stuff cause allot of people hang here are programmer's most would want to see pirates and both dowenloaders regardless of how clueless or ignorant users are get there 50 years in jail

the music industry wants to send teenagers and old men to jail lol

and me I'm a moral cause i can understand every single point of view and really just don't give a damn.

i tell it how it is i will always be myself and to the programmer's if you take offinse cause your here at wilders and where all family I'm sorry for hurting any of your feelings.

but to programmer's i don't know or never met i just don't care lol will cause i don't know you lol.

its like a news accident if you dont know who got kill you cant really have any real emotion to it rather then ouch that sucks glad it wasn't any one i know.

all in all this is just my opinion and that is all its fruit for thought bag it use it do what ever don't bother me what you do with it.

I'm but just one voice.

im not what you call politically correct I'm just blaze
