S.2248 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008
- Anonymous : The telecoms always had immunity. Congress took the power to do the work from the government. Telecoms can't do this work for the government anymore because they will be sued when Congress changes it's mind again. The CEO will be fired for incompetence.
- aaron : If the NSA believes it needs to conduct extra-legal datamining to do its job it needs to take that concern through the appropriate judicial channels - such as the FISA court - in order to make that happen. "Lagging behind the enemy" may not appeal to you, but I think the idea that there needs to be some separation of powers between the various branches of government is also worth protecting.

- donnyshaw : The new numbers from the MPAA may help the cause of getting the p2p provision out of this bill:
"Yesterday, the Motion Picture Association of America admitted something that many of us had suspected all along – an MPAA-funded study showing that 44% of the industry’s losses came from illegal downloading of movies by college students using campus networks was overstated by a factor of 3. The MPAA now says that only 15% of its losses come from campus activity."

H.R.275 Global Online Freedom Act of 2007
- sarahbrand : "companies limit searches all the time for all kinds of reasons"
The very portion of the bill you quoted specifically says that businesses only have to report filters that are implemented to comply with government restrictions on Internet freedoms. Reporting those filters should not be terribly difficult.
- bluethunder : I wrote a diary urging people to support the bill:

H.R.4279 Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008
- Anonymous : If this bill passes Senate, The RIAA, The MPAA, and the celebrities will now take your and either keep them or sell them to illegal immigrants. The RIAA, The MPAA and the celebrities are the supporters of the New World Order and the North American Union. They can put a support vote in order for the NAU to be implemented with no opposition allowed because we'll all be put in Labor Camps for crimes we haven't not committed even if we're innocent of copyright infringement.
- johnatmls : Sony Bono was responsible for creating the Mickey Mouse Bill and passing it, if memory serves me correctly. It extends copyright to 75 years past an authors death, or 100 years when granted to a corporation. It was passed just before Mickey was do to go off copyright, a right that Disney acquired or stole from someone without compensation. Thanks to Disney we do not have access to the books, movies and creative works which copyright was originally enacted. Originally it was 20 years before becoming the property of the public not 75 years past an authors death. Just think of all the knowledge being withheld from the public because of these special interests.
