I think this news is VERY INTERESTING at all. http://www.interaksyon.com/infotech/phl-cybercrime-law-say-goodbye-to-torrent-and-file-sharing
We have a law now that is worse than USA. Imagine we are a third world country and its hard for us to afford to buy e-books and software or other stuffs that gives us interest and use our potential to learn and be innovative (which government can benefit from that). At least, in our time, we experience downloading e-books thru torrent. If this law will be implemented, now its hard for the youth or next generation to be resourceful because all file sharing are block (will this include DropBox, Google Drive, etc.?). Also most of the Filipinos don't have credit cards to buy online stuffs, IMO this law gives us a huge barricade that would hurt our future in learning or for being innovative. I do work at home, or telecommute, and it seemed to me that this might hurt my job and the sense of my initiative might suffer impediments. If we'll just let this happen, then good luck to all of us.
