Here’s an article about a new bill introduced by Howard Berman, a House representative funded by the entertainment industry, that would land a person in prison for five years and impose a fine of $250,000 for uploading a single file to a peer-to-peer network.
In the past Berman has proposed letting the RIAA attack any computer running Kazaa, and he tried to force the FBI to drop anti-terror investigations in favor of pursuing copyright violators. The RIAA is getting its money’s worth, no matter what he costs.
