>The recording industry and Hollywood are at it again! They want to rewrite copyright law (again) to lower the standard required for criminal enforcement of copyright infringement. The way the bill (HR 4077) is written could make the way you use iTunes and WiFi a crime.

>Of course, it doesn't end there. The big media companies have also convinced Congress that ISPs need to track the activities of their subscribers and keep the information in a database that would be shared with the FBI and the Department of Justice. No subpoena or court order would be required--say good by to fair use and due process!

>Tell your Congressman to vote against HR 4077 today.
