Bill Passes The Senate
Orrin Hatch's Other Ridiculous Copyright
Bill Passes The Senate
06/26/2004 01:19 AMIt seems that Orrin Hatch is involved in just about every bizarre
anti-consumer, pro-Hollywood piece of legislation these days. Just
days after introducing his
absolute
ly ridiculous and dangerous INDUCE act, Hatch's
PIRATE Act has
passed the Senate without debate and via a voice vote, so
there's no record of which of your Senators just agreed to take your
tax money to fight Hollywood's battles. If you don't remember, the
PIRATE Act would
let the
FBI work on civil cases against copyright infringers. In
other words, cases that should be between two private parties, will
now be handled by the federal government, using your tax money.
There's simply no justification for this, other than some Senators
wanting to pay back their entertainment industry backers by doing
their legal work for them -- using your money.

The Senate Puts Orrin Hatch In Charge Of
Writing Copyright Laws
03/19/2005 03:17 AMYou may remember Orrin Hatch from such backwards thinking proposals as
destr
oying computers of any copyright violator or
telli
ng the FBI they should work on civil copyright cases or
(most recently) his plan to
make
the iPod illegal with his INDUCE Act (though, he eventually agreed
to exceptions for the iPods, plenty of other technologies would become
illegal overnight). He's also the guy who tried to defend the INDUCE
Act by admitting it might not be a good idea, but he that's fine as
long as he
does
something. Yes, he believes in legislating for the sake of
legislating even when it might make things worse. Well, it now turns
out that good old Senator Hatch has been
put in charge of
the Senate panel that writes copyright laws. In other words, we
should have another couple years of silliness in copyright laws coming
out of the Senate.

New Senate bill aims at companies making
copyright-infringing tools
07/09/2004 12:06 PM
The Inducing of Copyright Infringement Act of
2004, or
INDUCE , a recently proposed Senate bill, would enable lawsuits against manufacturers of software
which support or
invite
copyright infringement. The law would combine intellectual property redress with an eye towards punishing
solication of minors.
Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) explained
his proposal:
it is illegal and immoral to induce or encourage children to commit
crimes. Artists realize that adults who corrupt or exploit the
innocence of children are the worst type of villains. In Oliver Twist,
Fagin and Bill Sikes profited by inducing children to steal. In the
film Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang, the leering “Child-Catcher” lured
children into danger with false promises of “free lollipops.”
Tragically, some corporations now seem to think that they can legally
profit by inducing children to steal – that they can legally lure
children and others with false promises of “free music.”
Critics argue that the bill
undoes the technology protections established by the US Supreme
Court in 1984, when it
ruled that the VCR, while allowing some infringement, was not
entirely a machine of copyright violation and hence could not be sued.
Moreover, other INDUCE opponents believe that the law could be
applied to a great variety of technology and
innovation , including portable music
players . Defenders argue that digital networks are qualitatively
different from the 1980s VCR, and that peer-to-peer trading, the bill's primary target , is
overwhelming about copyright infringement.
