"The Industry" is pushing law changes that would call for ISPs to be required to kick people off of the internet without any sort of lawsuit. They want the IPS to cut people off after they "The Industry" informs the ISP of 3 copyright violations. the point of these blog discussions are to point out what a horrible idea this is and stop these laws from seeing the light of day.

Put a six foot tall flag pole and a machine gun in the best Call of Duty players hand and drop him in an active firefight and tell him to return the flag to your base and he is dead..

While I was in the law I saw the section that explains this-
5. Possession of interception devices prohibited.
A person who possesses any intercepting device under circumstances evincing an intent to commit an interception not permitted or authorized by this section, or a person who permits an intercepting device to be used or employed for an interception not permitted or authorized by this section, or a person who possesses an intercepting device knowing that the same is intended to be used to commit an interception not permitted or authorized by this section, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in a jail or house of correction for not more than two years or by a fine of not more than five thousand dollars or both.

c. for investigative and law enforcement officers of the United States of America to violate the provisions of this section if acting pursuant to authority of the laws of the United States and within the scope of their authority.
d. for any person duly authorized to make specified interceptions by a warrant issued pursuant to this section.
e. for investigative or law enforcement officers to violate the provisions of this section for the purposes of ensuring the safety of any law enforcement officer or agent thereof who is acting in an undercover capacity, or as a witness for the commonwealth; provided, however, that any such interception which is not otherwise permitted by this section shall be deemed unlawful for purposes of paragraph ...

The Possession of a device for wiretapping charge is ridiculous. In reading the account of the incident it sounds like the guy was a behaving like a total asswipe, and my guess is he pissed the cop off and the cop decided to charge him with everything he could come up with.
