Senator Biden thrills MS | |
|
||
| Time: 13:41 EST/18:41 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||
|
US Senator Joseph Biden (Democrat, Delaware) has proposed an amendment to existing US law which will create criminal penalties for counterfeiting so-called 'authentication features' related to software, digital movies and audio content. Current law under Title 18, Section 2318 criminalizes the counterfeiting of packaging materials and logos, but the Biden amendment, we're told, merely adds such items as holograms to the list. And if that were the case, we'd have little to criticize here, in spite of the suspicious facts that Senator Fritz 'Hollywood' Hollings (Democrat, South Carolina) is a co-sponsor of the bill, and Microsoft Corporation heartily approves of it. But of course with connections like those, it really couldn't be a straight-up piece of fair legislation, now could it? | ||
