Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on P2P Dangers

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?"

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

Or the lack of available info on this may show that it was trying to be slipped in under the radar of those who are speaking about the "Dark Side" being not as dark as they think. I'm sure there are tons of committee hearings that we don't hear about on /. afterall. This one just happens to be about a subject talked about here frequently, and a bunch of Senators are getting to talk about it. I can't think of a reason the time and place of it should be posted here. After all, no one on /. can see what Senators are on the committee and call them, no one on /. lives in DC, and no one watches the news anyway.

It's not like we can do anything to contribute. Much better to moan about it on /.
