WASHINGTON — A bill that would allow the entertainment industry to hack into computer networks and personal files to protect music and movies from free distribution over the Internet has copyright advocates cheering but privacy and consumer groups jeering.


The bill, introduced by Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., will be aired out by both sides in a hearing of the House Subcommittee on Courts and Intellectual Property on Sept. 26.

Hi Guys,

This friggin Berman is some shining star of a representative. Perhaps its time for citizens to kick A S S holes like this who are obviously on the bribery plan with large corporations.


Critics say Berman and Hollings have no choice but to respond to the wealthy lobby of the entertainment industry, which has dumped generous campaign donations into their laps.



If he is your rep, vote the idiot out because the people have to oppose this type of bribery.

Nobody in their right mind would suggest this type of thing if they were not receiving buckets of money from the industry.

Remember this is the same industry of geniuses who wanted to stop the VCR revolution before it got started and made them a fortune. Today, without the revenue from the VCR's the industry would be cutting off their own legs.

And here the same idiots are doing it again. This time I hope they succeed and that they all go belly up one after the other. Talk about greedy pigs doing anything. If we don't watch out these aholes will find a way to license the air we beathe and the water we drink.

When they stop making Ripable CD's I will stop buying CD's.

I think I saw somewhere that in Canada the recorde companies were going to get the goverment to charge tax on recordable CD's, and MP3 players and pay that directly to the record companies. Can they do that there use collected tax and pay private companies. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/24469.html

Ugh, will the entertainment industry ever get a clue? Since the suits (not the artists themselves) running things aren't creative or intelligent enough to restructure and rethink how they conduct their business and make their money, they decide they're going to try to rein in technology and invade our homes and privacy instead.

Of course these methods are doomed to failure because the very thinking that led them to these tactics is the same thinking that keeps them doing a perpetual dance of one step forward, two steps back. We, however, keep steadily jogging forward, jumping the occasional roadblock and poking a sharp stick in the prying eye on the other side of the keyhole.
