- a $500 fine for all illegal files transferred online [current Act charges a max of $20,000 for each infringement or something like that]
- a fine for each "personal use download" found to be shared online through peer-to-peer software programs [kind of like a penalty for "making available"]
- measures to make it illegal to unlock cellphones or copy music from protected CDs to iPods [not sure what they mean by protected CDs, hopefully that doesn't mean any ol' CD; this probably comes from their anticircumvention of digital locks provisions]
- making it illegal to copy "time shifted" shows onto personal video recorders if flagged by broadcasters [this is absolute crap; the whole idea of the PVR could be in jeopardy]
