Copyright Bill could Stifle Innovation
binder520 writes "Wired has an article on how the latest Senate Bill, sponsored by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), will hold technology companies liable for supplying devices or software that can be used to illegally copy music, videos, software, etc. It looks like it is time to write to your senators, because the verbiage in the bill is too subjective for any technology company to stand up to the media giants. Say good bye to your VCR, MP3 players, CD/DVD burners, etc."
Yep, be a good little sheep and let the EFF make your decisions for you.
How about you pull your head out of your ass and actually look at the voting record for your representatives. Look at what they are for and agianst. You have to realise that you have to take the good with the bad. If your rep was for copyright termination but for legalized rape, would you vote for him? Politics is all about making trades.
I'm not standing up for Hatch. I just think that you need to look at the whole picture of your reps before you make a decision.
I'd rather you do it wrong, than for me to have to do it at all.
