SSSCA Hearings Postponed Under Heavy Opposition

Posted by Hemos on from the get-out-and-write dept.

Concerned Citizen writes "Both the EFF and WIAFLW are reporting that the "Senate Commerce Committee's hearings on the Security Systems Standards and Certification Act (SSSCA or DMCA-2) which had been originally schedule for today (Oct. 25, 2001) have been postponed due to mounting opposition, particularly from those in the tech community." Senator Fritz Hollings has yet to reschedule a hearing (it's likely that he won't), and has also indicated that he would consider modifying the bill."

    Oh, and you were so close to getting that last part right - the line was "Or I will gouge out your eyeballs, and SKULL FUCK YOU!" and it was from a different part of the movie.

    "Hey cowboy. I want to stick my tube steak in your sister. What'll you take in trade?" ... "What have you got?"

    I would like to know if I, the "GET SOME PRIORITIES" troll, would also be welcome to join in the festivities?
