[dvd-discuss] Sen. McCain, the RIAA and Verizon DMCA issue



According to the article, Sen Brownback wanted to amend the FTC bill
requiring that DMCA subpoenas can only be issued AFTER copyright holder
filed a court case or civil action. This was not set in motion because
McCain said he would hold a hearing about the issue.

I don't know all the details of the Verizon case, But I'll BET those are
not DMCA issues at all, but rather AHRA issues. (and I'll keep bringing up
the AHRA until I see some kind of evidence to the contrary).

A computer is not a device specifically designed to store and record audio.
And if there was music trading for personal use p2p... legally, the AHRA
stands.
