The recording industry never ceases to amaze me. I’m sure it has been said before but allow me to be redundant. This is about control of the means of distribution. The recording industry couldn’t care less about artists. All they want is your money, control of the distribution channel, and never ending copyrights. Is that so much to ask? Yes, go to the site below and send your congressman a fax. They are trying to fast track this pile of crap and we can’t allow it.
The INDUCE Act is legislation being pushed by the record industry that would allow them to file lawsuits against companies that make unrestricted music hardware or software, such as the iPod or filesharing programs. The INDUCE Act will restrict technological innovation, limit free speech, and threaten one of the most vibrant sectors of the United States economy. Instead of taking advantage of new opportunities to build new business models, the record industry is pressuring Congress to stop music sharing with more lawsuits and regulation.
