@Monkey:

Just think of them as kind of a “spinoff” of the RIAA. Same values and tactics, they just want the money going to themselves instead.

The more crap that goes on the more I dislike the FAC, and anyone associated with it. I don’t see them as any different from the RIAA.

“If someone is accused, a fine can be issued, a bit like a speeding offence”

Er no. In the case of a speeding offence:
1) You need EVIDENCE of speeding, not just an accusation by an indignant copyright holder.
2) People’s LIVES are at risk of dangerously high speeds, not corporations’ profits from unlicensed competition with their 18th century monopolies.

” Hard-core supporters of the bill include the likes of American Idol judge Simon Cowell and the Featured Artists Coalition. ”

After all, we wouldn’t go for an internet tax. Now the entire fanbase of the FAC is going to be punished for daring to not hang on every word of the FAC.

That’ll teach us, eh ?
