Copy That Floppy, Lose Your Computer

Over the weekend we posted a story about a new copyright bill that creates a new govt. agency in charge of copyright enforcement. Kevin Way writes “In particular, the bill grants this new agency the right to seize any computer or network hardware used to “facilitate” a copyright crime and auction it off. You would not need to be found guilty at trial to face this penalty. You may want to read a justification of it, and criticism presented by Declan McCullagh and Public Knowledge.” Lots of good followup there on a really crazy development.
