TSA agents in the US will be screening for pirated content, on laptops, ipods, cellphones, you name it. they can now take that equipment, copy it, hold it forever, and you have no legal recourse. This is not the first case of someone being nailed for piracy in an unrelated matter, and it won't be the last. They are training sniffing dogs to look for pirated discs (apparently burnable media has a different makeup than pressed retail discs, and the dogs can smell it.) If you are travelling with anything pirate, be cautious. Really tho, even if you legally ripped those mp3s from legally owned cds, do you carry them with you? Still have the receipts? Exactly. Anti-terror laws are being used to go after copyright infringement. I warned of this years ago, and now it's right there in your face. Deny it no longer, stand up and fight back. those of us ‘in the know’ have been warning about this for some time now.

Because the RIAA & MPAA have deep pockets from years of monopolistic abuse in their industry they have bought politicians that have created laws to abuse AND terrorize (FBI warnings small example!) the public. They depend upon an outdated business model that smacks of the 1950s McCarthyism (EVERYONE is a copyright thief! trust no one!) As a good doctor will tell you the best way to treat a human illness is to treat the cause and the symptoms will disappear and health will return. These problems stem from decades of copyright abuse in Hollywood. Bought off politicians like 'Sony Bono' aka 'The Bono Act' to extend unfair copyrights beyond what they were meant or intended to be by the US's founding fathers, solely out of greed. Follow the money! In an age where computers are designed for people to share data they become unimportant and their racket dissolves. Laws need to changed & Hollywood and their mafia need a good slapping down. Until they realize that people will just keep on sharing & their business model needs to be updated to reflect this. Suing people is not the answer. The point here IS sharing is NOT stealing!

This agreement allows enforcement to randomly search your cell phone, MP3 player, laptop and so on for any infringing material and if it's found they can confiscate all of your devices. In addition to that it allows them to get your ISP records without a warrant. Best of all who you do you think wrote the foundation for this agreement that's right the RIAA. They've been allowed to get away with too much and eventually people will get tired of it and will fight back otherwise they'll be living in an RIAA world where if you name your kid after someone it'll be copyright enfridgement.
