] Congress advanced or passed several bills this week that
] would increase penalties for infringing copyright, and
] outlaw devices and software that could be used to
] illegally copy and distribute content. The legislation
] would also protect computer users from identity theft and
] the spread of spyware.
]
] The Senate introduced the Induce Act, which critics say
] would ban file-sharing networks and stymie the
] introduction of any technology that could be used to copy
] and distribute copyright work. In addition, the Senate
] passed the Pirate Act, which would make it easier for the

What?
3 to 10. For videotaping a movie.
3. To. 10.
THE AVERAGE SENTENCE FOR A RAPIST IS 8 YEARS. Have we gone a little bonkers here, people?

Later in the article, talking about the Induce Act, it states "Schultz said the bill is so broad it would squash rights and legal precedents that allow people to own copying devices, even if they could be used for illegal purposes."

Wired News: Congress Looks Out for Hollywood

] A Disney executive says it told Miramax last May that it
] did not want to be connected to the North American
] distribution of the film because it could be politically
] divisive.
]
] But Moore claims Disney is worried it could lose tax
] breaks it gets in Florida, where the president's brother
] Jeb Bush is governor. Disney denies that, according to
] The Times.
]
] Miramax says its deal with Disney only allows the company
] to block distribution of a film if it is over-budget or
] gets an NC-17 rating, neither of which appears to apply
] to Moore's movie. The two companies could go to mediation
] over the dispute.
]
] "I would have hoped by now that I would be able to put my
] work out to the public without having to experience the
] profound censorship obstacles I often seem to encounter,"
] Moore wrote in the statement on his site.
]
] "Some people may be afraid of this movie because of what
] it will show," Moore wrote. "But there's nothing they can
] do about it now because it's done, it's awesome, and if I
] have anything to say about it, you'll see it this summer
] %u2014 because, after all, it is a free country."

[ This is far more interesting than i thought... Is Moore making that shit up about tax breaks (i wouldn't put it past him) or is disney really that corrupt (also very possible)?

] Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said
] the Walt Disney Company has blocked distribution of his
] new film critical of U.S. President George W. Bush.
]
] The film -- which links Bush with powerful Saudi
] families, including that of Osama bin Laden -- is set to
] debut at the Cannes Film Festival in France later this
] month.
]
] In a letter posted on his Web site Wednesday, Moore said,
] "Yesterday I was told that Disney, the studio that owns
] Miramax, has officially decided to prohibit our producer,
] Miramax, from distributing my new film, 'Fahrenheit
] 9/11.'
]
] "The reason? According to today's edition of The New York
] Times, it might 'endanger' millions of dollars of tax
] breaks Disney receives from the state of Florida because
] the film will 'anger' the governor of Florida, Jeb Bush."

Hmm. Free speech or tax breaks. Disney votes for tax breaks! Not that I'm surprised, really. Disney has not really been one for supporting free speech (re: copyright laws) in recent times.

My review on Interz0ne III. I also am quite frank in my pros and cons, discussing some problems I see where Interz0ne is going.

] The con organizers needs to relax, and let the con grow
] on its own based on the quality of its talks and how much
] fun it is to attend. They are seeking to make this a
] profitable venture, and good for them. However if they
] are charging $30 bucks a head when I am suppling
] free-of-charge over 3 hours of content, I don't expect or
] deserve some of the static I'm getting from them. I hope
] they change their focus, tone down their ideas of
] overnight greatness, and listen to what people are saying
] about their con. People constantly say they like
] Interz0ne because it is small enough that you can talk
] with the speakers, that it attracts smart hackers with
] good talks, and they enjoy the partying. Interz0ne is
] great the way it is, and in an effort to make it larger
] and profittable, Interz0ne is pissing a lot of people
] off, myself included. I hope this trend doesn't continue.
