It is times like this when I am GLAD to be Canadian.

Cyber death penalty. Oh, joy.

if we are caught downloading, our computers are destroyed? they are going to monitor everyones computer? isnt that some sort of invasion of my privacy, and completely against the law?

[TheGreatPoo]

One would think so.

maybe the patriot act will let them actually do this. im not to up to speed on that act, but it basically gives the government the right to spy on anyone they suspect of terrorism. I am sure it was written with enough loop holes that could legally do this. if they could somehow interpret illegaly downloading an act of homeland terrorism  :rolleyes:

Millions of americans download illegal music. If millions of americans have their computers destroyed then there will be rioting in every city in america.

I moved to "The Land of the Free" from Scotland 10 years ago this month. In those 10 years, the land of the free has slowly but surely been eradicated.

Land of the Free my fucking arse. You can't buy a pint of milk without a "member" card. The airlines  are keeping the government informed of flight bookings etc. This so called democracy is bullshit or the american public are just plain stupid. For fucks sake america, vote c***s like this out. I don't get a vote or I would do it myself.

Except that Dell and Intel would be delighted with scenario of frying the equipment.

yes. we americans do have the power to change things. most* do not. they are too busy watching watered down tv and listening to starbucks tell them what kind of coffee to drink. we are spoonfed drugs in our entertainment. it has made us slow and stupid. we do not think for ourselves anymore. it is a pathetic sight. calum had the right word for us, apathetic. im sure there are more, but that one sticks out the most

*most meaning every-fucking-body, including myself     :mad:   :mad:

Well Siplus? With the Patriot act, DMCA, and traitorous politicans messing around with bills that allow Hollywood to hack, and possibly even damage PCs, are you sure that Canada's laws are stricter?  

[Laukev7]

Amen.

Well this is BS. If this does happen (it won't. Hiring 50 hackers that only cause expense and no income isn't ideal right now).
Well first thing would be to get a router, maybe a firewall computer (something cheap like eMachines) to run 6 firewalls... i'd like to see how far they'd get.
This is total BS. What? It may be the only way of punishment? My lord!

Fat chance. Right now, they are talking about forbidding the use of firewalls or anything that can be used to hide your ip address.

Yes you just gotta love the self rightousness of hypocrites, especially when they are in the US senate.
