The laws an ass

According to SOPA, the new online piracy act, you would get 5 years in prison for uploading a Michael Jackson song. That's one year more than the doctor who killed him.​

Then there's that pic on facebook where the bloke who owned Megaupload who has been given 50 years....yet some dude who raped and killed a woman has recieved 20 years.

Does. Not. Compute.

This can go on and on... a drug dealer with x amount of class A drug on him starts at 11 years where as a rapist starts at something like 4 years... Its a mess!!! Sex crimes should have HUGE penalty's attached imo, as much as murder or more!

There was another one on there regarding a homeless guy who robbed a bank, demanded money from the cashier, only took $100 and gave the rest back. Next day he felt guilty and turned himself in......got 15 years in jail for it.

At the same time another guy who was CEO of a large mortgage company and embezzled 3 billion dollars....got 40 months....

You do have to wonder the logic sometimes.

This is the same country that threatened Spain with "downgrading" Spains trade status to somewhere near Irans unless they introduced anti-piracy laws they have approved.

Set up a gambling website and Americans use it? Don't set foot on American soil they will arrest you for breaking their laws.
