The French Constitutional Council has approved a law that criminalizes the filming or broadcasting of acts of violence by people other than professional journalists. The law could lead to the imprisonment of eyewitnesses who film acts of police violence, or operators of Web sites publishing the images, one French civil liberties group warned on Tuesday. The council chose an unfortunate anniversary to publish its decision approving the law, which came exactly 16 years after Los Angeles police officers beating Rodney King were filmed by amateur videographer George Holliday on the night of March 3, 1991. The officers’ acquittal at the end on April 29, 1992 sparked riots in Los Angeles. If Holliday were to film a similar scene of violence in France today, he could end up in prison as a result of the new law, said Pascal Cohet, a spokesman for French online civil liberties group Odebi. And anyone publishing such images could face up to five years in prison and a fine of €75,000 (US $98,537), potentially a harsher sentence than that for committing the violent act. chicagoboyz.net

Hey dude, You should get in the Supreme Commander game while you can still be on the ground floor. I've been playing on their multiplayer site GPGnet, and let me tell you, it's the best RTS game of ALL TIME! The mix of units, tech levels and the differences between factions allow a range of strategies that seem unlimited. It's worth buying a worthy computer! The only people that have any problems are people with unworthy computers. Won't Intel slip you an new dual-core off the loading dock?
