RIAA gets empowered
Here’s my morning frightfest. According to a recent post up on BoingBoing, the House has just approved a bill that allows law enforcement to reposes anything that has been used to violate copyright in a criminal proceeding. In theory this means that if a patron uses a library workstation to download an mp3, the library could lose their computer. It’s amazing what a good Lobbyist can accomplish.
