Berman And Coble Pimping For Their Corporate Masters

So two congressmen with no shame have drafted a nutty bill that would allow movie and music companies to hack into people’s personal computers and networks to erase or destroy “copyrighted” material. Most notably, it indemnifies corporations against personal torts resulting from their error for damages under $250. So even if you’ve almost finished the greatest novel ever written but failed to find a buyer yet, if they erase it, you get nothing. If they destroy your hard drives but show the replacement value is below $250, you lose. And so on.

The top industries supporting Howard L. Berman are:
1 TV/Movies/Music $186,891
2 Lawyers/Law Firms $97,100

The top industries supporting Howard Coble are:
1 Lawyers/Law Firms $35,515
2 TV/Movies/Music $33,483

There is nothing these two “gentlemen” would not do to keep sucking at the media industry tit. Even to the degree of drafting such nonsensical law that clearly violates the “equal treament” under privilege or immunity of the 14th Amendment by immunizing corporations against felonious activities conducted by them against citizens without considering due process.
