Ok, Mr. Hatch needs to be brought under control. Under the people's control, that is. He now wants to hold digital music device manufacturers liable for the customers use of their product. Alright, downloading MP3's is, at a minimum a grey area and in most instances copyright infringement. Without getting into that particular argument, I do see many legal uses of this device. For instance, load up MP3's into a digital device and then exercising - MP3's taken from legally purchased CD's or download services. Mr. Hatch's bill would stifle and innovation in this arena of not just kill it.
Isn't this the same argument made against gun manufacturers? One that they lost? And, one that the Republican party stands by? (Gun manufacturers cannot be held liable for the actions of its customers - "Guns don't kill, people do".)
Something's not computing here.
