Hi, you're listening to Hacker Public Radio.
|
||
|
|
I'm 330, and this is Copy Fight.
|
||
|
|
Well Copy Fighters, we have a new administration and new, alright, the role problems.
|
||
|
|
Jeannie Jardine of Boing Boing is reporting that Hollywood's lobbyists are running all
|
||
|
|
over the hill trying to sneak in a copyright-filtering provision into the internet stimulus package.
|
||
|
|
The amendment will allow ISPs to, quote unquote, deter child pornography and copyright infringement
|
||
|
|
through network management techniques.
|
||
|
|
This amendment is very, very controversial for just a couple of reasons.
|
||
|
|
First, infringement can't be found through network management techniques.
|
||
|
|
Their legal use is for copyrighted works even without permission of the owner.
|
||
|
|
In second, it would require internet companies to examine every bit of information anyone
|
||
|
|
puts through the tubes in order to find allegedly infringing works without even a hint of
|
||
|
|
probable cause.
|
||
|
|
That would be a massive invasion of privacy, done as a request of one industry, thus violating
|
||
|
|
the rights of everyone who even is remotely online.
|
||
|
|
Right now, all we can really do is contact a few key senators, Majority Leader Harry
|
||
|
|
Reed, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Daniel Aiyui, Chairman of the Commerce Committee,
|
||
|
|
Jay Rockefeller, Chairman of the Finance Committee, Mike Buckis, and Senior Member of the Appropriations
|
||
|
|
Committee, Barbara Mulski, and just tell them to leave out this controversial provision
|
||
|
|
to something that could actually help this country, this country being the U.S.
|
||
|
|
I know they're hacker public radio listeners from all around the world, but this is specifically
|
||
|
|
for the U.S.
|
||
|
|
And really, aside from getting a hold of those few key senators, there's a petition online
|
||
|
|
that will be linked in the show and it's for this step.
|
||
|
|
