The PIRATE Act (S.2237) is yet another attempt to make taxpayers fund
the misguided war on file sharing, and it's moving fast. The bill
would allow the government to file civil copyright lawsuits in
addition to criminal prosecutions, dramatically lowering the burden
of proof and adding to the thousands of suits already filed by
record companies. It would also force the American public to pay
the legal bills of foreign record companies like Bertelsmann,
Vivendi Universal, EMI, and Sony. Meanwhile, not a penny from
the lawsuits goes to the artists.

Don't let the record industry use your hard-earned dollars to pursue
this fruitless war; tell Congress to sink the PIRATE Act!

Okay... I'm going to withold whatever percentage of my tax dollars would go to this act if it comes into play. At least I will until some IRS official comes and hits me with a brick.

That is, when I pay real taxes...

Would be nice if it were only so simple. ;-)
Im with ya, but the IRS gets a little fussy over what they consider "thier money".
Guess they fail to remember that they are only keeping it in trust for us citizens. The brick man might just show up. I met him once the first year I was in business for myself. The "tax man" cometh !!!! Funny how when they make a mistake with your money they can make the correction in thier own time, but when you make the mistake, they tell you where when and how much.
