A Senate hearing is set to take place on P2P. The informational hearing is set to take place at Sacramento, California on March 27th. Those who will attend will include representatives from Sharman Networks (kazaa owners), Streamcast Networks (Morpheus owners), the MPAA, the RIAA, Eartlink and others.
The Senator Kevin Murray and the senate entertainment committee will host the hearing. Details of how to contact Kevin Murray in advance of the hearing can be found at his website.
P2P companies such as Sharman Networks have taken part in several closed-door discussions with representatives of the RIAA previously. What will be different about this hearing will be that it will be one of the first times that such discussions will be on an open platform. It will also be a key opportunity for those involved with P2P to influence the Senate.
