Arrrrrr...
Last week, Congress introduced the Prioritizing Resources andPRO IP? WHIPER? Who thinks of these acronyms? It's like they were already giving up by giving these laws lame acronyms; like they know it's an exercise in futility. Information wants to be free, bozos. Adapt or perish. Get a clue from authors who give away free digital versions of their works. They realize that book-lovers want actual physical trophies of their 'conquests' and will purchase a dead tree version of a book they acquired digitally if they really liked it.
Organization for Intellectual Property Act (PRO IP Act), a bipartisan
bill aimed at increasing civil penalties and criminal enforcement for
copyright infringement, i.e., sharing MP3s.
This Draconian bit of legislation also proposed a new federal agency
tasked with the management and enforcement, titled appropriately,
WHIPER (White House Intellectual Property Enforcement Representative).
