The RIAA want's to hack into your PC's! - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Mark 27 · 10-16-2001, 01:32 AM

According to The Digital Bits the RIAA tried to put an amendment on the recent anti-terrorist Bill in Congress that would allow them to hack in to personel computer files and delete any personal files they feel you shouldn't have i.e. mp3's or any other media files that could in theory be pirated!

Even worse, the RIAA also wanted immunity from damages if they delete the wrong files or cause damage to your computer! In other words they were going to use the horrible tragedy of 9/11 to get the legal right to invade your home computer and delete any file they wanted, and if they screw it up and erase your whole hard drive or crash your system in the proccess you can't even sue them!

I don't know about you but I think this is going SO FAR OVER THE LINE that the RIAA should be up on invasion of privacy charges.
