Hearing on Hollywood Hacking Bill 
Posted by michael on Friday September 27, @02:00PM
from the above-the-law dept.
DaveAtFraud writes "CNN says that Hilary Rosen and the RIAA are once again lobbying \
Congress for the right to sabotage P2P networks. Of course, Hilary says that the RIAA \
wouldn't abuse this capability. Luckily, some of the lawmakers are dubious. Also, \
Rep. Rick Boucher asked, 'What are the implications for the Internet's functionality \
when the inevitable arms race develops?' and pointed out that overzealous attempts to \
enforce existing copyright law had all too often targetted legitimate postings." \
There's also a News.com story.
