Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on P2P Dangers

Posted by timothy on from the step-lively-now dept.

marshall11 writes "From the Senate Judiciary Committee's website: "The Senate Committee on the Judiciary scheduled for today at 2:00 p.m., on "The Dark Side of a Bright Idea: Could Personal and National Security Risks Compromise the Potential of P2P File-Sharing Networks?" has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 17, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. in Room 226 of the Senate Dirksen Building.' Ok /.ers who knows what's going on with this? It's only a week away; is anyone testifying or appearing as a friend of the Committee? Is anyone planning on testifying? What issues are going to be raised?"

  1. Prepare to lose karma... by GuyMannDude · · Score: 1, Informative

    Okay, I guess this is pretty much guaranteed to rob me of karma, but how the hell did this submission get accepted? There is NOTHING here! NOTHING! You go to the website and it says NOTHING! It's just some guy asking a "did you hear that..." question. Shouldn't an article on "News for Nerds" contain a tiny smidgen of actual news or information?

    I'm not going to castigate the poster for failing to do research because I tried a google search right now and couldn't find anything myself. But I don't see how this submission can be accepted as a YRO article or even an Ask Slashdot for that matter.

    Maybe the fact that there is no available information about this hearing means that it's not really important.

    Mods, I await your wrath...
