GOD HELP US if this goes through....
...and God forbid, if it does, HOW will we "riot"???
(..there was a time when VCR's could have been declared illegal?!?!? This was taken to the Supreme Court? What would the cultural landscape have looked like since?? The reason we have VCR's at all was because the SUpreme COurt did the right thing.
It's a much more conservative court now, though, than in 1984. And it might be more open to bribes. They're hearing from the Industry, how about US?
Is there a way we could raise a ruckus about this?? The entertainment industry is trying to screw us HONEST citizens over, and the scope of this is so much bigger. If we could present to the Justices just what the implications of this could be, and convince them we are HONEST citizens (the downloading of U2 songs pre-album release nonwithstanding...but what a publicity tool would be lost)...
