WASHINGTON–A prominent Senate Democrat on Wednesday said federal and local police should use custom software to monitor peer-to-peer networks for illegal activity, and he wants to spend $1 billion in tax dollars to help make that happen.

At an afternoon Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing about child exploitation on the Internet, Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) said he was under the impression it’s “pretty easy to pick out the person engaged in either transmitting or downloading violent scenes of rape, molestation” simply by looking at file names. He urged use of those techniques by investigators to help nab the most egregious offenders”.

Do some research folks. Biden is the really dangerous one and he’s getting big donations to lead the charge.

“Hezbolloh backs Obama.”

Um, no. Where’d you get that block of lies from? FAUX News?

then I will laugh at all of you idiots..

seriously, get a life, he doesnt give 2 shits about file sharers, and will ban it given the chance..

im a file sharer myself, but you people are ignorant.

If a ‘human’ is found to be born without conscience, how can said individual rule over other human beings on a macroscopic scale objectively and responsibly?

Filesharing is clearly the next step in the universal (human) scope of cultural expansion and development, but it is less important by itself than the maintenance of civil liberties in general and the prevention of a growing fascist pathocracy in the US and beyond.

We have yet to see what will play out in America (Amerika?), so extend your kindness to all the purveyors of reason in regards to the potential (and likely) victims-to-be-had in Iran alongside the simple majority of file-sharers worldwide.

The only ‘hope’ I personally have to lend is that Obama is not assassinated before he decides whether or not to do the right thing… but if so then we had all hope not to end up with a warhawk like Biden as president. Even with the initial crisis of civil war potentially averted in the US, I wonder how long it will be before the county implodes in its own hubris and awful policy…

So keep on a-sharin’ those files!
Information is and always will be absolutely free!

I informed you earlier about Joe Bidden. You better have checked his hostory and facts. Too bad you did not, TF.

And let me guess, you’re that smart that you realised what most people haven’t?

So let me get this straight… the RIAA hire a old Republican lobbiest who continues to support the Republicans… this is massive news against McCain. Dear God he gave McCain the max of $2,300; oh my GOD McCain is in his pocket. The RIAA owns McCain with that $2,300.

Unlike Joe Biden, who obviously isn’t in their pocket. Biden wasn’t one of only 4x Senators to get personal invite to a MPAA/RIAA/BSA celebration bash for the DMCA. Biden didn’t propose spending a BILLION dollars to monitor P2P networks for “illegal activity”. Biden also didn’t co-sponsor a RIAA bill restricting recording the audio from internet & satelite radio stations. Nor did he sponsor a bill to make it a FEDERAL FELONY (federal pound you in the ass felony) to trick devices into playing unauthorized content. And he also didn’t push the FEDERAL government to go after individuals on P2P networks.

Pull your head out of your asses because you are so blinded by your partisanship, your own man is a hundred fold worse in what you are complaining about.

ya all angles covered there good to ocntrol it all now.

at 333 delegates right now, 63 beyond what’s necessary. I’m feelin’ good.

And, yeah baby, I’m a biracial female, and my black half is singing in the streets, even if my white half is sitting here commenting on blogs.

Do you even know the meaning of the words? I don’t mean “OMGZ HELTHCAR, SOCIALZIM COMMIEISM TERRISM MUSLIMS GAYS MEXCICZNANS OH NOES!!!”.

Obama wants to continue the existence of the private ownership of the means of production (property). He is therefore a capitalist.

“If McCain were to win, it would be replacing a chimp with an orangutan.”

But with Obama, we a still replacing a chimp with an orangutan. The only difference is that orangutan is black and pretends not to be an orangutan. It’s still the same thing in the end.

And what impacts culture more negatively than anything else? It is copyright.

Actually, I am quite unsure about how much culture will positively impact society as a whole (I am sure that the impact will be at least substantial), but I am very sure that the removal of copyright law from areas of non-profit activity will assuredly impact culture to be infinitely better.

Think about it, all of you. Do you not think that culture is one of the most important things to society? Then you should realize that copyright is very far-reaching in its effects. That is why copyright is an important issue, although I believe that few people realize it right now.

As for how Obama thinks toward file-sharing, no one knows. But the President can’t really have an effect on it regardless — Congress is where all the payola from the RIAA and the MPAA is going.

The lobbyists spend millions to get their little ideas passed into doofus laws.

It’s the same in every country — those with the money get to piss on those without. Hardly an idea original to the U.S.

Corruption: It’s what’s for dinner!

Are you insinuating that I let media dictate my vote? If anything, the crap you just spouted about that being a killing blow to file-sharing and free speech. Would you care to back up your bullshit assertion, or are you just pulling it out of your ass… because you are?

And can someone explain why Obama voted for the FISA legislation just like Bush wanted him to if he’s sooo great. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/06/20/obama_supports_fisa_legislatio.html

LOL.

So Obama believes in personal privacy, yet he wants to take your hard-earned wages, take a larger chunk out than is already being taken in taxes, and “spread the wealth”. No thanks.

@13. Obama’s not an extreme capitalist. He’s a socialist. Get it right.

@Everyone – It really amazes me how, with all the problems in today’s world, you all focus on how file-sharing – and how a President who didn’t necessarily take donation money from a anti-piracy outfit – will make the world a “better place”. Grow up. Obama’s and his compatriot left-wing nutjobs are going to fuck this country up. Wait and see. Hell, his own running-mate Joe Biden has said that he doesn’t believe he’s ready to be President.

I agree, Joe. I agree.

So although RIAA’s preference is pretty much expected, in the end it’s not relevant…
