Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: September 2133
Description[?]:
| No doubt going after online child molesters is a must, but lately the government have been abusing their powers and targeting kids who've downloaded Britney Spears' albums while mommy and daddy aren't home. Fines for thousands of dollars have crippled our citizens - they would have been better off going to the store and stealing the album instead. While the police have teamed up with record companies and spent their resources fighting filesharing, REAL crime has increased. Dorvikians have simply ignored record companies' threats, this old legislation has made everyone a criminal. Get the state out of monitoring our citizens petty online actions and let them focus on the real crime. |
