RIAA, MPAA would like to scan your hard drive for infringing content
Found on CrunchGear on Friday, 16 April 2010
The most glaring "suggestion"? That computer users install software that would scan the contents of their hard drives, looking for examples of "infringement." If the software discovers what it thinks it infringement, bam! Deleted!
The funniest is that the RIAA/MPAA expects federal agencies, like the FBI, to keep an eye out for pirates on opening weekend.
Of course this software would work on any operating system out there and you would be forced by law to install it, right? Because honestly, if the industry tells me to run some retarded program, I wouldn't even bother to flip them off.
