The law will be used against folks like Jim Bell to pile on charges.
Yep, in effect it has made *everyone* a felon subject to a lenghty prison sentence at the whim of the Lea's. It also make it much easier for the Lea's to manufacture "evidence" against anyone. After they confiscate your compute equipment they just make a few floppies and volia!! Instant felon!! At least under old laws they had to prove that you were trying to turn a profit off of copies which is a much harder thing to do. I for one would not wish to be in the position to convince a jury that *I* did not create those floppies. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
