This is a perfect example of where your politicians (for our U.S. readers) loyalties lay. Conveniently omitted from many of the news stories was that this bill was passed thru the House with a whopping 410 to 11 aye to nay ratio. When will people wake up and realize neither the D's nor the R's are our friends? One side is just better skilled at lieing to certain groups of people then the other.
To find out who voted which way (and to doublecheck my memory on the counts, sorry but the site was down when I wrote this) go to

P.S. Are we at the point where my punishment will be less severe by stealing CD's from a store or by breaking into someone's home then if I were to torrent a Spice Girls album?
