Congressmen in the pocket of Hollywood have proposed a histrionically absurd bill to enable the music and movie industries to hack into people’s computer who they think are illegally trading music: “Under the bill, companies would not be required to warn users in advance of their actions. A user wrongly attacked could sue only if he or she suffered more than $250 in economic losses and obtained the U.S. attorney general’s permission to file a lawsuit.” Kudos to AP for mentioning how much Hollywood bribed — I mean donated — to the bill’s backers.
