Hacking made legal!
Of course, not for everyone, just those that have pockets deep enough to buy themselves representation in the wonderful legislative branch of our government.
According to this story at The Register, representative Berman from California (go figure) is preparing a bill that will allow copyright holders to hack computers and networks if they feel their "property" is being ilegally distributed!
In Berman's words:
"a safe harbor from liability for copyright owners that use technological means to prevent the unauthorized distribution of their copyrighted works."
This is just further proof that not only does our government keep on introducing laws (see the DMCA) that deal with technology and issues they have absolutely no clue about, but also that they're out there to protect and serve the businesses (that have money) not their constituents.
Well, if this isn't one huge middle finger to the citizens of this country (and really, the rest of the world, since the Internet has no borders) then I don't know what is.
