Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act
An anonymous reader writes "According to CNET the Senate is leaning strongly in favor of the INDUCE Act sponsored by Senator Orrin Hatch. It looks like the RIAA is making significant progress manipulating the marionette strings in Congress. MP3newswire.net states that if such laws were to pass, the record industry would become the new AMTRAK. 'Bloated and inefficient as always, but now a drain on taxpayers wallets and liberty as well'." Infoworld has a story as well. Reader CryptoEngineer writes: "Marybeth Peters, of the US Copyright Office
testified recently before the Senate Judiciary committee in support of the INDUCE Act, which has been discussed
here
before. In summary, she thinks its not strong enough. Among other things, she proposed scrapping the Betamax decision, which makes it legal to timeshift TV shows with a VCR. Analysis here."
Its yours. All you people who continue to download copies of movies and songs without paying. Those of you who continue to argue the semantics of how downloading an mp3 is not theft because someone still has the original. Those of you who use bad logic to justify your actions. "Well the company is greedy, therefore I'm doing a great justice to the world and our freedoms"
Blah. You are fucking up our rights because you are cheap idiotic theives.
Orrin Hatch has proven time and again that he is not obligated to uphold his duty to protect the constitution and to protect the people of this land.
He has even gone so far as to introduce a bill (S.J.Res.15) calling to amend the constitution to allow persons who have been American citizens for over 20 years to run for president.
This action is tantamount to treason as the frames of the constitution knew full well that if people born outside this country were allowed to become president that foreign influences could be effected upon the president.
Not only has he sought several times to enact a n anti-flag-burning amendment, which is the biggest fucking slap in the face to all that have died defending this country, he has sought to champion limits to malpractice charges in and outside of the medical profession.
This lowlife scumbag should be taken out, tried , convicted and executed as the treasonous son-of-a-bitch that he is.
Fuck him!
well, boo-hoo! if you're such a smart ass why didn't you prove him wrong for a change? oh, I see - you hate mistakes (flip-flops) so you don't actually do anything out of fear of flip-flopping yourself. Yeah, also 'sticking to decisions' in scientific research seems to be a topic completely lost on you.
I hope you get the -1 imbecile mod you deserve
