WARNING. New copyright bill in the works. Worse than the DMCA! Let's stop this crap from passing NOW.

The 24-page bill is a far-reaching medley of different proposals cobbled together. One would, for instance, create a new federal crime of just trying to commit copyright infringement. Such willful attempts at piracy, even if they fail, could be punished by up to 10 years in prison. It also represents a political setback for critics of expanding copyright law, who have been backing federal legislation that veers in the opposite direction and permits bypassing copy protection for "fair use" purposes. That bill--introduced in 2002 by Rep. Rick Boucher, a Virginia Democrat--has been bottled up in a subcommittee ever since.

I've said this many times before: write to Rep. Rick Boucher and let him know you support his effort to promote fair use rights. I have and received a nice response from him. It is still in the people's power to stop things like this from happening. A grassroots campaign could stir up enough of a problem in Congress to make them LISTEN to the people that they elected, and not the megacorporations that are bribing them. I have never seen more corruption in a government than I do now.
