exempting the entertainment industries

a big discussion happening over at slashdot, with a few choice comments from tim oren, glenn reynolds and the folks over at the register. the coverage already says plenty.

here is the floor statement by orrin hatch. i couldn’t find a copy of the actual text of the proposed legislation – i’m sure it will appear soon.

anyway, what this does is free up the entertainment industry associations so they can get on about the business of suing their customers with impunity, while their members dissolve any value they think they have.

by the way… has anyone gotten their riaa settlement check yet? i suppose i should look for that.
