Berman's bill authorizes anti-P2P hacking As I commented at the CRA Snowbird conference last week, I can't wait to see how this legislation plays out for "Jihad Records" once it is formed. After all, they will also be shielded by the law in seeking technical measures (e.g., viruses and the like) to protect against piracy of recordings of "Osama's Greatest Hits." And what about the script kiddies who want to experiment in hacking techniques? Simple -- form a record company. It's only about $20 to incorporate in some states, so the investment is minimal but the protection is worth much, much more. Isn't it nice to know that Berman, Coble, Sony, et al. are carefully thinking about the security of the general population before proposing legislation for special interests? ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
