RIAA Wants to Hack Your PC

“Look out, music pirates: The recording industry wants the right to hack into your computer and delete your stolen MP3s. Lobbyists for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) tried to glue this hacking-authorization amendment onto a mammoth anti-terrorism bill that Congress approved last week. An RIAA-drafted amendment according to a draft obtained by Wired News would immunize all copyright holders — including the movie and e-book industry — for any data losses caused by their hacking efforts or other computer intrusions “that are reasonably intended to impede or prevent” electronic piracy.

” Many people will not be surprised at the levels the RIAA will go to protect their income,but things are starting to get stupid. See also Slyck.coms spin on the same story.
