Leahy, Napster, and the Copyright Divide

kootch writes "After the hearing last week concerning digital music, I think these two links from the NYTimes should be interesting. One is on Sen Leahy showing he's much saavier than most think, and the second is on how one of the founders of Napster isn't always against copyrights... and is starting a company to distribute movies with Hollywood." Leahy has been on the "right side" of most internet-related issues in Congress for many years now. A few more like him, and a lot of the need for a YRO section would disappear.

innovation."

Damn. He sides with Microsoft.
