Wait, STOP! Don’t download that song, whatever you do!
Don’t right-click on that movie clip and save it to your hard drive!
Don’t cut-and-paste that paragraph of text for your personal research files or blog. Just don’t do it!
If you do, you may soon be a criminal. That’s right, a Copyright Criminal!
Thanks to the RIAA and the MPAA’s powerful Washington lobbyists, average Americans may soon find themselves facing federal criminal charges for downloading copyrighted material. Previously, these were civil matters, not criminal.
So listen up, all you bad boys and girls…the Obama administration is moving forward with a new law (which was originally to take effect under President Bush) which would give the government free access to the contents of your hard drive. If this law passes, they can read, copy, and confiscate your stuff without your permission.
Which is known as LEGAL illegal search & seizure. So much for the Fouth Amendment.
Check out the news report below. Just don’t download it, you little terrorist.:)

Yeah, I’m pretty much on a first-name basis now with the guys over at NSA. Sometimes, I actually feel kinda sorry for them having to spend so many worthless hours listening to all my boring-ass phone calls, but hey, they’ ve got a job to do, you know?
As terrorists go, I’m actually pretty nice. At least, that’s what the NSA guys said. And they are very sorry for the inconvenience and stress their intrusion is causing me, so we seem to have an understanding and get along surprisingly well!
So well, in fact, that I ship `em a big `ol plate of Sam’s famous Texas BBQ once a week, just to let those nice fellows know how much I care, and that I don’t take the unlawful spying personally.

Ditto!
BTW I’ll ask them if they’ve seen OSAMA!
