This is specifically on HR 4640, "To provide criminal penalties for providing false information in registering a domain name on the Internet." - - You can hear live audio of the hearing here on the weekly schedule page (NB windows media). Strangely, this had passed throught hands of the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security which is involved in a number of things on interest to Slashdot readers."
