PS - Also just a thought, I feel there should be a Law and Polictics Forum after the War in Iraq is declared over as more of more of these issues affect the Computer and Internet Online Community. Very soon Forums such as this will be the next target by the Government to be served a cease and desist order and declared as illegal.

Looks like your wish was granted

The "WAR" forum has now turned into "Politics and News"

Becareful though since some of those in that forum haven't come up for air in a few days so they might not have seen the title change yet

CkG

That's so exciting. Thanks Guys whoever did it.

The people I have been working with in the battle against overly broad State Super DMCA Laws and I have been talking about trying to get the local Georgia website updated so I may do that as well as try and get a Radio Talk show together focused soley on the Computers and Technology Political Issues we have been facing. The regular Talk shows have their hands full with everything else.

Good luck, and have fun Dave.

Thanks Virge.

Drove the 120 mile trip and went in the Capitol for the first time to find the meeting was cancelled while I was driving down there. It is rescheduled for Wednesday at 1 pm Room 230.

Well, did you go to this one, Dave?

They had the meeting with only 4 Committee out of approx 15 members in attendance. The Representative that brought the bill or labeled as the Sponsor of the bill was there for a little while. 8 people signed up to speak against the bill, no one stood up to speak for the bill. There was a table of people that never said a word, it is speculated these were representatives of the MPPA and Telecommunications Industry.

As soon as the speakers started ripping into the consequences of the Bill the Sponsor left the room and never returned. When the last speaker was done they said they will Chair further meetings over the summer to put the finishing touches on the Bill they are certain will be passed next year. They said there will be a Felony Piracy Law as they called it.

Good work, Dave. Sounds like typical committee BS, though. Hope you guys can get it stopped, because once freedoms are taken away, they are (almost?) impossible to regain.

I take no credit. I will help out as much as I can. I posted a thread on the State DMCA's in the new Politics & News Forum area complete with links to all of the relevant issues and States.

One Representative pushing for this Law freely admitted he knows nothing about computers but his son works in the IT Industry so he is getting his information from him. Anyone want to bet where his son works at?
