EFF's Letter to the Senate on INDUCE 189
z0ink writes "Picked up off of EFFector today a letter to all US Senators on the topic of IICA (Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act of 2004 -- formerly the INDUCE Act). 'In February, EFF proposed an industry-led collective licensing
solution that would ensure compensation for copyright owners
while minimizing the need for governmental intrusion into the
digital music marketplace,' writes EFF Executive Director Shari
Steele in the letter. 'It's time for a solution to the P2P
conflict that pays artists, not lawyers.' IICA has been covered here on Slashdot with more information available here."

It's for their own good. They'll lose weight that way.

I tell you what: the first thing we do, let's read Henry VI part II, act iv, scene ii.
Good advice from 410 years ago.

It will never happen. The best you can hope for in life is to support organizations whose views MOSTLY correspond to yours. Unless, that is, you want to be all by yourself. What's that old joke? I think it's from MAD magazine, mid 60's -- one Frenchman is a restaurant owner, two Frenchman is a political party (apologies to the French).
Bien soir.
(I think the joke finishes, "three Frenchmen is a love triangle," in case anyone cares).
