Topic: Technology 1:17 pm EST, Mar 31, 2004

One would allow the US DoJ to take civil action against file sharers on behalf of copyright holders - a fundamental change to the way copyright enforcement works. Senator Orrin Hatch describes peer-to-peer networks as a pornographic conspiracy that uses children as "human shields". Both bills are sponsored by Senators who have received large donations from the entertainment industry.

Eventually the software will let people publish some or all of the information they collect to the web to let them create their own biographical blog.
