Oh, my gosh and can you believe that it is also a bill that if you murder someone you can go to jail as well!! Its called the law, and if people would abide by it there would not be these bills passing around in congress. From what I read in the bill the posting *copyrighted* material is against the law. So based on your rationale, it would be legal to "share" material, so I am going to borrow some cars from CarMax and leave them on the side of the road for everyone to use at. hmmm, that sounds like the same theory of file sharing. Maybe, I am reading the wrong bill, but copyright is the law and if you break that law by posting it on the internet for everyone to use you should be punished.
