So I received this e-mail from "congress watch" and it says something about the RIAA ignoring the 4th ammendement. I don't know what this means.... could this be a form of a spam or is it something that I should worry about? Please help!!!! New RIAA law lets law enforcement ignore 4th amendment - Search your private property without warrants By Mike Masnick, Techdirt, October 16, 2011 One of my favorite historical stories that really demonstrates how a "legacy" industry can take regulatory capture to extreme lengths to protect their monopoly rights is the story of the French button-makers guild in 1666, as relayed by famed economic historian Robert Heilbroner: The question has come up whether a guild master of the weaving industry should be allowed to try an innovation in his product. The verdict: 'If a cloth weaver intends to process a piece according to his own invention, he must not set it on the loom, but should obtain permission from the judges of the town to employ the number and length of threads that he desires, after the question has been considered by four of the oldest merchants and four of the oldest weavers of the guild.' One can imagine how many suggestions for change were tolerated. Shortly after the matter of cloth weaving has been disposed of, the button makers guild raises a cry of outrage; the tailors are beginning to make buttons out of cloth, an unheard-of thing. The government, indignant that an innovation should threaten a settled industry, imposes a fine on the cloth-button makers. But the wardens of the button guild are not yet satisfied. They demand the right to search people's homes and wardrobes and fine and even arrest them on the streets if they are seen wearing these subversive goods." Let congress know that you do not agree with this. http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-s968/show It's not hard to see the RIAA or the MPAA in that description of the old guilds, and it seems like they're trying to take the comparison even further. As we covered back in May, the RIAA has been pushing really, really hard for California to pass a law that would allow for warrantless searches of private property, specifically of anyone involved in reproducing CDs or DVDs for "commercial" purposes. The RIAA was so cavalier about this, that a spokesperson even said: "I don't think the scope of the search is something a regulator needs to be worried about." In other words, no government oversight. Just go ahead and search private businesses. This seemed to be so obviously against the 4th Amendment that it seemed ridiculous that anyone would seriously consider such a bill. So, of course, Governor Jerry Brown of California just signed it into law. The law decimates the 4th Amendment, and says that law enforcement has the right to search the premises of anyone making optical discs for commercial purposes, without any warning or warrant. Hell, even the state's own analysis of the bill warns that it's not sure that the bill "would stand up to constitutional scrutiny." It's beginning to sound like the French button makers guild getting to enter your homes and closets to find those dreaded "non-compliant" buttons. It's getting so ridiculous that even those who are generally supporters of the RIAA/MPAA's positions are saying this bill goes way too far, noting that it grants way too much power to law enforcement (often at the urging of private industry) to go on "fishing expeditions" at companies they dislike. And let's not even get started on what kind of precedent it sets when you can so easily remove the Constitutional requirement for a warrant. Please vote against this attack on liberty. http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-s968/show Sincerely, Mike Masnick Mp3 Music Inc, 701 Rossland Road East Ste 369, Whitby, Ontario L1N 9K3, Canada To unsubscribe visit: http://www.mymusicmail.com/unsubscribe.html?x=a62e&m=E5E&s=iXES&y=d& To change your contact details visit: http://www.mymusicmail.com/change_details.html?x=a62e&s=iXES&y=S& Best answer:That is just a baseless rant. The link provided has nothing to do with the subject matter in his rant. No one is taking away your Fourth Amendment. Which area in BC would you recommend?Full question:Every year my boyfriend, and I go on a trip throughout somewhere in BC, what would you best suggest for those who are in BC? Northern BC (Terrace, Smithers, Nisga, Queen Charlottes, Atlin, Peace River etc) Cariboo/Chilcotin Area (Quesnel, Wells Gray, Nimpo Lake, Lac La hache etc) South Eastern Area (Cranbrook, Trail, Rossland, Banff etc.) Central Southern Part (Penticton, Kamloops, Merritt, Jasper, Valemount etc.) Also, what would you recommend the most for a) hiking trails b) wildlife viewing and photography c) scenery. Best answer:I grew up in the South Okanagan, and lived on the Queen Charlottes. Tough choice! The Charlottes are beautiful. It escaped the last Ice Age, so the flora and fauna there is unlike most of the rest of BC. There is not so much to see and do, other than hike on miles and miles of perfect beaches, with no signs of humanity anywhere. The road inland is magnificent - (Prince Rupert to Terrace), with the wide river, a very narrow piece of land at the edge, and then up about 10-12,000 feet, right off the deck. Much more impressive than the Rockies! East of there, there is not much to see by more mountains, although not nearly as nice. It is more of a plateau. This past summer, I moved to the Yukon, and drove the Alaska Highway to Whitehorse. Spectacular! Wildlife all over the place, beautiful vistas, and wilderness. Not many services anymore - you can see closed restaurant/gas stations all along the route. If you want to get away from it all, it is the place to go. The Okanagan is desert. I grew up in the south, in Oliver, the "Wine Capital of Canada." It has the most concentrated wine industry in the country, and many of the wineries give tours. It can be very hot in the summer - temperatures into the 40's, and that is the temperature, not the humidex! Lots of fruit farms selling fresh fruit, and there are interesting things to see - like the Radio Telescope at White Lake, that has tours on Sunday afternoons. Something you can't see in too many places. A few years ago, I toured east of there, to places like Nelson, and Kimberly. Those two places are interesting. Nelson was said to be an "artistic" community, but really, it is where time stopped in 1969 - hippies everywhere! It is an eclectic community, and interesting. Kimberly is made up like a German town. A little kitschy and touristy, but kind of fun. Going from Radium to near Banff was great, and the road from Banff to Jasper should be driven at least once by everybody. It is so nice, it is hard to describe. I've been through the Cariboo a bit, but mostly to get to places. I was not overly impressed, but then, I did not really stop to check things out either. If you want to go a little further, you could head up to the Yukon. Whitehorse is not super interesting, but the drives up here are amazing. Great roads, that are flat and straight, but go through mountains. It is neat! I live near Dawson City, and it looks much like it did back in the 1898 Gold Rush. It is not made up to look like that - many of the buildings are original, and new construction must conform to the look. The streets are dirt, the sidewalks boardwalk, and the first casino in the country is open (non-profit), with dancing girls and all. There is a place on Bonaza creek near the original gold strike that is open to the public. You can pan, for free, for three days, and keep anything you find. Gold is over US$1000 per ounce, so many try their luck. There is a big music festival in summer, and the days are long, about 20hours of daylight, and the other 4 hours is light as well. Coming here from Whitehorse, you can often see bears, moose, and some elk. I have also seen wolves, and loads of foxes. The road often has more animals than people on it!
