This is a disaster. Bush is an idiot for signing this, but just remember who controls congress. Looks like there's finally something both parties can agree on, and that's to use government resources to enforce sweeping, intrusive copyright laws.


Both parties get donations from the content cartels, and do what their paymasters tell them. Government of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations.


Repubs only get token money from RIAA and MPAA and their members. They go along on this one because they're the stupid party. The Dems would probably go along for free because they're the evil party, but they're happy to take the money, and it's a lot of money. (The Dems big three donor classes are trial lawyers, wall street, and "entertainment", read MPAA/RIAA members.)


Don't worry, they'll just put "heckuva job" FEMA guy in charge of it and everyone can go back to their old ways.
