Slashdot | Germany Accepts Strict Piracy Law
From the article: ‘Germans risk two years in prison if they illegally download films and music for private use under a new law agreed yesterday. Anybody who downloads films for commercial use could be jailed for up to five years.’ Many politicians defended the new law, amongst them Günther Krings, the Christian Democrat legal affairs spokesman, who claimed: ‘There should be no legal distinction between stealing chewing gum from a shop and performing an illegal download.'”

Makes me wonder how many of the idiots involved in voting for this stupidity have investments in prison housing and or construction and or supplying materials for the many new facilities that will soon be needed.
