anti piracy insignia for websitesGreat news for bloggers and website owners. The FBI “Anti-Piracy Warning Seal” is being extended to all content--not just movies and music. Even personal websites can display the logo now without violating the federal law. (The federal law pushes a maximum six-month sentence and other penalties for using the insignia without FBI approval.) Prior to this moment only certain content organizations could use the insignia--namely Recording Industry Association of America, Business Software Alliance, Entertainment Software Association, Software & Information Industry Association, and of course the Motion Picture Association of America.
