“Prosecutors can rarely justify bringing criminal charges, and copyright owners have been left alone to fend for themselves, defending their rights only where they can afford to do so,” said Leahy.

Isnt that what hundreds of Americans are facing with the onslaught of RIAA lawsuits? So far none of them has been able to afford to defend their rights, they’ve been steamrolled instead.

‘Anonymous’ people are dubbed: ‘Anonymous Coward’ on here? Yeah, I know you’ll say that’s (a lame attempt at) satire, but ‘anonymity’ is a concept that is becoming more and more alien by the day

Although both parties have been guilty of being more interested in serving Hollywood than it’s constituents at times, but this is Leahys bill. Hatch is just a cosponsor. Leahy is a democrat. Granted, I am a Republican, but I think Hatch is just as big a dickweed as Leahy. If I lived in Utah, I would NOT vote for Hatch, ever. Regular Republicans have enough reasons to hate Orrin Hatch, even w/o p2p. People are too easy to let Leahy off the hook, and focus soley on the Republicans (who only make up two of the four total sponsors of this disaterous bill).

“And back to senators Hatch and Leahy, in the 2002 cycle Hollywood (music, tv and the movies) supported Hatch to the tune of $175,332 and so far in 2004, has pumped $157,860 into his coffers.

Leahy’s top supporters for 2004 are Walt Disney Co – $44,500); Viacom Inc – $36,000; Time Warner – $28,250; and, General Electric – $22,500. At $160,250, Leahy’s top contributor in 2002 was, once again, Hollywood and for 2004, he’s so far chalked up $181,000.”

that says it all….

agree with your opinion, i;m sorry if i offend a few people, but this is going on because bush is republican, all they care about is money and themselves, they don’t really care about us the consumers, and they get pissed off when we try to stand up to them, or as i’ve named ‘em, the bitch mophia,lol.

Senator Hatch has totally lost sight of his job. He represents big money special intersts such as the hollywood movie studios now. His constituents (you know, those people who VOTED him into office, God knows why) be damned.
