[Rumori] induce act

[PeterALopez]

The first version was so broadly worded that technically the law if passed would have made the pencil "illegal".  Because someone could potentially take that induceful implement of possible future copyright infringement and take it into a book store or library and copy a book word for word, then sell it.  Thus the pencil manufacturers could have been targeted under the first version of the INDUCE Act for inducing copyright infringement.  There have been several recommendations by both sides and revisions made and you can get those versions possibly from:

If you would like to watch the first Senate hearing on this act you can hopefully still get it from:
http://p2pcongress.org/
which is an organization attempting to distribute Senate Hearing and such through Bit Torrent.

I'm not overly familiar with the Induce Act, as described here:

On the surface, the Induce Act seems pretty obviously a Bad Thing. Is
there anything I'm missing, or is it just what it seems, a power play by
the MPAA and the RIAA?
