Cogress moves forward on ensuring you are considered a criminal when you buy a CD.
"Pro-IP Act passes House to the glee of RIAA and MPAA". With a headline like that, you know it can't be good. Yet this is what Congress believes is the right thing to do.
"The biggest area of concern is the fact that the bill creates a new position in the White House called the U.S. Intellectual Property Enforcement Representative. This new position helps to make sure that organizations like RIAA can continue to gain legal ground even after the presidential election changes major players in the government. The main goals of the act are to strengthen copyrights, make it easier to prosecute people who violate copyrights and increase fines associated with copyright infringement."
Good times indeed.

Where are we going? And why are we in this handbasket?
