Has anyone heard about this? Ive read some articles about this.... Awful isnt it...

Wouldn't that kinda be like searching someone's home without a search warrant? Are record companies going to have search warrants to look for mp3s for every person's computer who has the internet or something? I don't see how they could hack into anyone's computer.

WEll from what ive read they would delete MP3's and stop MP3's from transferring from one comp to another

Oh meangya:mad:

It's a good idea on paper but I don't think it will work in practice. Millions of people download MP3's every day. It would take a lot of time for record companies to do a search of every computer and delete MP3s.

I don't think it will pass because

a) they would need a search warrant because it would violate the Constitution if they just hacked into someone's computer without a warrant. It would be just like police entering your house and taking something. A warrant explaining what they are looking for is needed to do a search in any building. Computers should be no exceptions.

b) even if they had to have search warrants it would take a lot of time getting them to search through every internet user's computer.

If the do this, I won't be able to hear my song anymore!! *wails and holds out arms to "the sign"* DAVIDDDDDDD!!!! I NEED THE SOOOOONG!!!

*cough* Heeeeeeyah, like he's ever gonna read this. I hadda wail all the way to CA. :D I wail loudly!!

That sounds logical. :cool:

I think that it would be against the law and the Constitution to invade our privacy without good reason. I mean, God forbid the record people only take home 18 million dollars instead of the usual 500...(OK, so I exaggerate...)

Yeah...I'd like to see them try.

My computer's security is tighter than a Mafia Don's virgin daughter. :p

Oh...and I'd like to see a link too, please.

ACtully I read it on AOL a couple monthes ago but ILl search the web and find some sites talkin about it....

You must be kidding, right? How can you put MP3s on a floppy when not even one MP3 file fits in a floppy. Maybe you meant CD-R or CR-W. :confused:
