Go to Prison for File Sharing? That's What Hollywood Wants in the TPP Deal
I can't speak for the US, but I'm just not buying the fear about the TPP. I honestly can't see the Australian judiciary sending people to jail, or issuing large fines, for sharing media.<p>Suppose the sentencing is mandatory leaving the judiciary with no choice. We'll see how long that lasts, but very well then, I'll happily spend 3 months in an Australian prison for sharing media. I think you'd probably have to book in advance. How comical.<p>How can law enforcement possibly police this? The idea is so ridiculous, like some kind of 'War on Piracy'.<p>> penalties that include sentences of imprisonment as well as monetary fines sufficiently high to provide a deterrent to future acts of infringement<p>C'mon, seriously? Is there anyone who doesn't know risk of imprisonment doesn't act as deterrent. There are Australian's about to be executed in Indonesia for drug trafficking. Should be pretty obvious.<p>I'm sorry, but with all the hyped up FUD, I just can't seem to get uptight about the TPP.<p>Certainly life will go on, and people will continue to share media.
