US Congress Passes Anti-Campus File-sharing Requirements

[Jorge]

Despite faulty numbers, the congress in the house has passed the College Opportunity and Affordability Act of 2007 which contains the "Campus Digital Theft Prevention" requirement.

this is why the RIAA and the like (including the "old guard of congress") need to realize that the future is SHARING. not FORCING people to buy a product thats dwindling and dwindling by the second. nobody wants to spend 20 bucks for a fucking art cover. they just wanna hear the damn songs. THATS IT!
