Wired News: P2P in the Legal Crosshairs
Isn’t that special (think Church lady!). Bill Lockyer, the CA Attorney General , is circulating a draft letter to fellow state attorneys general for this spring’s National Association of Attorneys General, of which Lockyer is president. The document characterizes P2P software as a “dangerous product” and describes the failure of technology makers to warn consumers of those dangers as a deceptive trade practice. Only problem is, the metadata on the Word document states that the letter’s author is none other than Vans Stevenson, senior vice president for state legislative affairs of the Motion Picture Association of America. Can you read between the metadata?!
