: U.S. Bill Would Put Net Song Swappers in Jail says Reuters. And hey, it's a familiar face behind this one: Rep. Howard Berman. otherwise known as Jack Valenti's "personal assistant". If A Solid Call had any influence, you might see a headline like "Bill Would Put Corrupt Lawmakers in Jail," but that won't happen. It's utterly ridiculous that Rep. Berman would seek to jail copyright violators when corporate crimes like price-fixing or pollution get fined. It's a crime that Rep. Berman should be wasting his time on this.
