I can't imagine they would actually follow through with this though, all it takes is one incident where they cause financial harm to someone with an mp3 they misidentify and their highground is gone. Then again, I can't imagine congress being so massively stupid either, so I suppose anything is possible.
One scenario I can imagine is the MPAA ddos'ing or h4x0ring a university hospital network because they found warez on some secretary's desktop PC. As a result, some databases get corrupted and patients die. Would this bill shield the MPAA from being liable for manslaughter? -Dan -- [-] Omae no subete no kichi wa ore no mono da. [-]
