Fuck this!
Basically, the RIAA wants to clog up your bandwidth if you're using a peer-to-peer network trading service. from the article:
------
The software technology, according to industry sources, would essentially act as a downloader, repeatedly requesting the same file and downloading it very slowly, essentially preventing others from accessing the file. While stopping short of a full denial-of-service attack, the method could substantially clog the target computer's Internet connection
--------
They were trying to sneak in an exemption from the anti-terrorism bill that would allow copyright holders to "attack" an individuals computer in pursuit of holding onto their "rights"...
I fucking HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE copyright. fuck that bullshit.
