Rep. Howard Berman introduced the Peer to Peer (P2P) Prevention Act in Congress yesterday (after receiving, no doubt, a promise of immense campaign contributions from the RIAA).
Hey, Howie, how's about we make remembering songs illegal, too, and let the RIAA administer forced lobotomies to consumers so they can sell them the SAME CRAP OVER AND OVER EVERY DAY without them realizing it? Maybe if we were all like goldfish, then you life-sucking monopolists would be happy then, am I right?
Princeton admissions officers broke into Yale's admissions system using prospective students' birth dates and Social Security numbers. They “viewed Yale admissions decisions” of 11 students; Princeton's dean of admissions says “[i]t was really an innocent way for us to check out the security.” The FBI is “assessing the information to see if there is a federal violation.” [MetaFilter]
