Well the bill was signed making stricter penalties of piracy and counterfeiting. The only reason I'm bringing it up is to let you guys know and be careful, the government is going an extra mile against stuff like music and movie downloads (though it is meant for bigger things, like counterfeit parts too).

Well, it definitely won't stop the piracy, that I know for sure. But at least they are trying to control it a lil better.

Real question, do you support it? Me? I cant say either way. Counterfeiting and Piracy are 2 big concerns that the gov't does need to step up and I'll be more for it if it's not about hitting normal people for stealing music (unless it's like a terabyte worth). It's just hard because we dunno how it's gonna be executed.
Wow, and I thought the Czar thing was a joke. It's really the title name!?

I support it to an extent. Me, I don't find it too big a deal if someone is stealing music pretty much for themselves. And then you find the people who are stealing this music and selling it off to other people or giving it away for free to loads and loads of people and then think about all the money that is lost there. But you're right, we don't know how it's gonna be executed so I can't fully give my support in anyway.
