Found an interesting article on News-Record.com concerning Rep. Howard Coble (AKA P2P’s worst nightmare).
Some excerpts:
Coble’s office says that any problems with the proposed law can be ironed out in hearings next month. That’s the good news. The bad news is that Coble’s initial response to my earlier column on this subject, and to a subsequent News & Record editorial on the same theme, has been to insist that the bill seems to be fine as is.
The bill is not fine. Coble, the chairman of the House subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property, has put his name on a piece of legislation that would give corporations unprecedented and overbroad powers — and you won’t even have to be a participant in one of the targeted file-sharing networks to feel its weight.
Looks like some major backpeddling is in order for Mr. Coble?
