RIAA Wants to Hack Your PC

[Keefe]

Lobbyists for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) tried to add a hacking-authorization amendment onto the big anti-terrorism bill that Congress approved last week.

The Proposed Amendment would immunize all copyright holders for any data losses caused by their hacking efforts or other computer intrusions "that are reasonably intended to impede or prevent" electronic piracy.
