The laws are being changed as we speak. I just got done reading a bit:
http://www.news.com/8301-13578_3-9829826-38.html details a new govt
agency that will have the rights similar to the IRS for search and
seizure....and this article in the post highlights the recent changes in
tactics the RIAA is employing to change what it wants considered theft
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/28/AR2007122800693.html
copying your cd you bought to put on an mp3 player is still fair use,
but in the RIAA vs Howell case, they are trying to redefine that as
illegal now.
