A California congressman is preparing a bill that would let copyright owners, such as record labels or movie studios, launch high-tech attacks against file-swapping networks where their wares are traded. The Congressman says it's "not fair" that copyright holders can't innovate in response to Napster and other P2P networks. His bill will protect anti-piracy tools and tactics, including interdiction, redirection, and spoofing. Critics call the tactics "subversive" and warn that such tactics would open the door to "cyber warfare" against consumers. "Innovation" is the new euphemism for hacking. Get your war on.
