Induce Act renamed the Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act

This legislation says "whoever intentionally
induces any violation" of copyright law would be legally liable for those
violations, which would make P2P type networks illegal. In addition, there is a good chance it could also impact some consumer
electronics devices. For instance, a simple MP3 player. It's important to stop this type legislation, as it would have a
negative impact on our rights with our own materials as well as stifling a very
popular method of listening to our music.

Making a connection between online file trading and child exploitation, key Democratic and Republican senators are backing a bill that would effectively ban peer-to-peer networks where copyright infringement takes place."In the film "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," the leering "Child Catcher" lured children into danger with false promises of "free lollipops,"" Hatch said in a floor speech touting his bill. "Tragically, some corporations now seem to think that they can legally profit by inducing children to steal, that they can legally lure children and others with false promises of "free music.""

Don't you just love how the politicos wrap
themselves up in "saving the poor children" whenever they want to get some badly
written law passed? Man, they must think were are all bunch of "suckers". Hey,
ya get what you vote for! So remember to vote this
fall!
