Copyright Legislation Run Amok
Senator Orin Hatch has introduced the INDUCE Act which will make it illegal to induce others to commit copyright infringement. That doesn't sound so bad does it. Well, here is a fake complaint that could be brought under this act if made into law which would sue Apple for making the iPod, Toshiba for making the hard drives used in iPods and CNet for giving the iPod a positive review. All this can happens since the iPod "induces" people to copy music infringing on copyrights. This is pretty scary.
