Revisiting Berman-Coble Copyright Bill

Boone^ writes "Rep. Berman is thinking about rewriting a portion of his bill to explicitly disallow 'hacker-style' attacks against P2P users suspected of sharing copyrighted files such as movies & music. Coble is astonished at the amount of bad press over a bill he says he isn't responsible for, although he and 2 others did co-sponsor it. On the other end of the fight, Rep. Rick Boucher cited a threatening letter telling an ISP to remove a user because they were sharing the Harry Potter movie, but after an investigation it was discovered that it was actually a kid's book report. Good thing the MPAA didn't have the right to DoS him into oblivion for sharing a school assignment."
