music laws?

[Wheatmaster]

my dad just told me that are new laws that are supposely going to catch all future music downloaders. he told me this from a chinese newspaper. i think its baloney!

Umm...isn't downloading copyrighted music without permission illegal already? What would a new law contribute any? And more importantly, why would a Chinese paper be reporting it and yet we don't see a word about it on CNET, Slashdot, Yahoo, etc.?

How are laws going to catch downloaders.... especially future downloaders? Is this like Minority Report?

LOL! A Chinese newspaper talking about copyright laws? Is it April 2 already? It's always the Chinese that are breaking copyright of everything....I think the whole country only purchased one copy of each version of windows and sorta "shared" it.
