CBDTPA / SSSCA Won't Be Passed This Year, Say Leahy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the savior-graceful dept.

filrock writes "It looks like we'll have a little breathing room before the CBDTPA/SSSCA becomes law. Senator Leahy, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is against the bill. Read the article on Wired. Good to see someone in the Senate with some common sense."

    This is a shame. The sooner we can establish rules and regulations on the "free" exchange of copyrighted material, the better off EVERYONE will be.

    Including you, the consumer.

    Personally, I don't trust Senator Leaky Leahy as far as I can pick him up and throw him. Sen. Leahy was kicked off the Senate Intelligence Committee back in the 80's for leaking top secret information to the press -- a leak which arguably resulted in the death of several of our undercover agents.

    I think this is just a head-fake.

    Haha I'm only saying this to piss off right wing extremist types who blame this on the democrats.

    Since slashdot is very right wing, expect me to get modded as troll, flamebaiter, etc etc.

    Bring it on, i have 50 Karma

      Slashdot...Right Wing? What? This place is one of the shelters of liberal thought on the Internet, or that's how it seems by reading some comments on here. Anyway, so what? This is nothing more than Senator Depends (Leahy), playing partisian politics as usual by using this issue to get votes for him and his party. That's the only reason kids, he's using this issue to try to support himself (as most Democrats do, oddly enough). When enough people (as in political donors, not the public) cares enough about this bill it'll get out of committe and on the floor, but until then we're going to have "couragous" Senators like this leftist piece of shit using stall tactics as a way to say he's done something on this issue. Garbage.
