.josh Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just another product of people willing to give up their rights due to 9/11. Don't worry though. The government is working hard to make devices capable of reading your thoughts and then those will be illegal too. hahahaha laugh it up now while you still can. Don't worry, I won't tell you I told you so...I wouldn't even think about it.

GingerRobot Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Eugh. Same thing is happening in the UK too. Im sick of it. They now wish to record and save every phonecall made, and every email sent, within the UK. Not only is this pointless for stopping terrorism ('we're gonna blow it up you say?', 'yeah', 'tomorrow - be there or be square') and is a complete invasion of privacy, our government doesn't exactly have a great track record when it comes to keeping our personal data secure. I recently had to do a speaking test for my french A-level in which you had to to take a fairly extreme stance on a subject. Mine happened to be CCTV cameras and security. My point of view was that we were half way toward totalitarianism. Now, that was in part to tick said 'clear stance' box, but it's not far from the truth to be honest. We're a tiny country, yet we have over 4 million CCTV cameras. Paranoid? How dare you! We're rapidy become a state that wishes to police every damn aspect of our lives. We can't even be unhealthy anymore. Let alone speak your mind. </political rant> Re: the article; i particularly like the part where it points out that pretty much all routers and firewalls cound be considered illegal. Lock up the whole damn country i say. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/107705-super-dmca/#findComment-554041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 What kind of retarded legislators would ever pass a such law? It's outright ridiculous. I understand they want to protect the people against terrorists and what not, but it shouldn't be by restricting people's rights and by restricting scientific works/research.

In a capitalist society, the central focus on laws is to make an extra buck. Their interest in keeping people safe only extends as far as keeping customers alive because dead men can't pay. So what's 'morally' right doesn't really apply most of the time.
