WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Allowing someone to copy music off your hard drive could cost you prison time, under legislation introduced by lawmakers from Michigan and California.
The bill was introduced Wednesday by Reps. John Conyers, D-Mich., and Howard Berman, D-Calif. It makes uploading a single copyrighted file a felony, with penalties including five years in prison and a fine up to $250,000. "While existing laws have been useful, they simply do not go far enough," Conyers said. He is the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee."
Sounds crazy, but i dont know how much it will be enforced. if it is enforced often, then lots of us will have problems hehe =P. If you want a copy of the e-mail, PM me. |
