MPAA & RIAA Pushing For Warrantless Searches In California

[mrjarrell]

And if they get them there, they'll be certain to push in other states. The sad thing is that they've got politician in the California legislature supporting this. Guess the Constitution means even less than normal out there. I sure would like to see some financials for these politicians. Too many pols, at the state and federal levels are in bed with these two organisations. This kind of crap has to stop.

I don't understand why it's so hard for them to simply "get a warrant".

99% of all legislation is economic rent seeking.

Why would you think anyone cares about the Constitution?

I don't understand why it's so hard for them to simply "get a warrant".

Because they have no real evidence of wrongdoing so they want to snoop through people's computers to see what they have been up too. These groups are a huge threat to us all.
