A bill entered into Congress by a California congressman called the \"Peer to Peer Piracy Prevention\" Act, if passed, would allow music and media industry \"hackers\" to attack peer-to-peer and individual home and business computers, and networks on a \"search and destroy\" mission for electronic copyright materials. This is a violation of our civil rights and the rights we are granted when we purchase music cd\'s. Any media file, if THEY believe it is copyrighted material would be corrupted and/or destroyed completely from the hard disks of personal home computers and internet sites! This bill, if exploited, could open up our computers to public view and they can shuffle through our files at will. It would also allow them to overload computer networks and internet sites with \"garbage files\" and multiple download requests to point that it would cause network outages. PLEASE VISIT MY WEB SITE AT THE LINK TO THE RIGHT FOR LINKS TO CONGRESS AND THE SENTATE, OR VISIT THEM DIRECTLY! Let them know you wont tolerate this kind of corporate terrorism! It\'s up to all of us to make sure this bill doesn\'t become law!

The growth of this petition has reached a level that warrants direct action. I am currently finalizing a formal briefing document to be delivered to the relevant congressional offices by the end of the week.

Keep your hands off my private property. My computer is not for you to mess with. RIDICULOUS.

Imagine letting some random guy from a record label delete my stuff just because they think they can. Total corporate overreach.

They want to overload networks now? Great way to break the internet for everyone. Bad idea.

Are you kidding me? They want to hack my home PC? This is straight up illegal and a massive overstep.

Seriously? The government needs to stop protecting these massive corporations at the expense of our basic privacy. No way.

This is basically legalizing malware. Why would any sane person write a law that lets companies destroy files on my own machine?
