<strong>WHO COULD GO TO JAIL?
You, if you're one of the millions of Americans who uses your computers to burn music CD's, listen to MP3's, share video files, etc. You'd face up to five years in federal prison and a $500,000 fine.
Think you'd be able to get around the law by removing the
policeware from your personal computer? Think again -- anyone who defies the government by disabling or tampering with the policeware on their own computer, in the privacy of their own home or business, would also face five years in the slammer.
Since alternative operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD
would most likely refuse to incorporate government policeware into their code, users of these open-source systems would also be eligible for hard time.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I think the last paragraph bothered me the most.
people would definatley die over this...
