Copyright Owners May Soon Have the Power to Destroy File-Traders' Computers
With No Investigation By Just Saying It Was in Good Faith -'The DMCA Made Me
Do It' - According to InternetMovies.com




    KAHULUI, Hawaii, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is being issued
by
InternetMovies.com:

    Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Orrin Hatch (Utah-R) has
stated his support of legislation and the development of technologies that
will remotely destroy computers suspected of illegally downloading
copyrighted
files from the Internet.  According to The Washington Post, he said,
"Damaging
someone's computer 'may be the only way you can teach somebody about
copyrights.'  The senator acknowledged Congress would have to enact an
exemption for copyright owners from liability for damaging computers."
    According to InternetMovies.com, an exemption to federal anti-hacking
laws
would give copyright owners the power to destroy instead of creating.  First
the music industry, then the movie industry, and right behind them: all
copyright holders.  This is America, soon to be land of the free to hack.
The
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) already allows cease and desist
orders
to be carried out based upon good faith without proper investigation or
proof.
Michael Rossi, owner of http://www.InternetMovies.com is suing the Motion
Picture Association of America (MPAA) in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
so that proper investigation be read into the DMCA.  The MPAA forced their
ISP
to shut them down after the MPAA accused InternetMovies.com from
distributing
movies from the future back in 2001, such as "Lord of the Rings: The Return
of
the King," a movie that is not scheduled for release until December, 2003.
Current federal anti-hacking laws maybe challenged by Senator Hatch, for the
purpose of copyright holders to take justice into their own hands.
    Who is going to replace all the destroyed public schools' computers from
copyright holders' good faith attacks?  University P2P networks could
collapse
and also fall victim to collateral damages based on copyright holders' good
faith beliefs, not proof.  Recently, some Ohio State University students had
their computers seized and their Internet privileges taken away based on a
good faith belief, but still no proof of any wrongdoing.
