Chances are not so good HOPEFULLY however if your machine does not go online i would imagine policeware will be removable..? Hope this done happen hehe howevere more about this site is that some of the links were dead and there was affilte program links. maybe just a hoax...

i think they're trying to take away too much of our rights away at once...if they're gonna take away our rights, they should do it slowly.

glad you posted that.

i don't think they plan to put you in jail for using another os.  they'd probably put the pressure on the company itself.  Anyway, i checked all the hoax sites i knew, because I was thinking the same thing.  As far as i can tell it's real.  I've signed it, and even if it's a fake, there's no harm in signing a petition.

Quoted From The Site

Only someone who violates the law "willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain" can be convicted.

So If This Is Right Then We Can Copy Cd's And
Softwarez But We Cant SELL Them  

If This Police Warez Goes A Head Will There Be A
Crack Or Patch Available  

And Also If Its Leagle To Produce This Kind Of
Privacy InterFEARING Software Can We Do One
For Our Own Use, Like Tracing The Info A Web Site Or Company Or Govenment Has On Its User.
   Then Deleting It

Some Label companies are putting out audio CDs that you can't copy or play on a PC.

I imagine the technology that went into this was costly, and guess who the cost was passed on to?
However, the counter action to this was a .50 magic marker.

What they are trying to do is bully mfg. companies of CD-RWs to incorporate a device in  
drive that will not allow the copying of copyright material.

These people, the recording industry, are ruthless
people, and will stop at nothing, including taking
your privacy away,(What's next... cameras in the bedroom?)to accomplish what they have set out to do.
Take into consideration that they are big money
backers to many members of Congress and and the
the Senate.

So, take notes of how your Senator and your Reps. vote. Also, contact them, and voice your opinion.
Remember, you hold the ticket to their future in
politics... Where? At the poll.

I've heard a good many people say that by copying
cds, you are taking money from the Artists. Trust me, the Recording industry is just as ruthless to
them. Artists and groups make the bulk of their money touring.
