| Custom What?  |  Felony By Proxy This will hold a special intrest to some of you Pimps out there!!You know who you are. New legislation delivers jail time to anyone offering pirated films via a shared drive, but what if a user isn't aware they're sharing pirated films?. As we mentioned on Thursday, the Artists' Rights and Theft Prevention Act is the latest batch of legislation designed to help thwart what the MPAA views as a looming film piracy super-storm. Unfortunately, like so so many batches of tech legislation before it, its vague wording leaves the bill open to an endless sea of questions. Any user who so much as possesses a pirated film in a shared folder (whether it's actually shared with others or not is irrelevant, Mr. Anderson) could face up to $250,000 in fines or five years in prison. Full story here. | |
