In connection with patents, the Washington Post's Jonathan Krim is reporting a major scoop today (reg req'd):
"Several of the world's largest high-tech corporations plan to urge Congress today to force Internet service providers to crack down more aggressively on their users who swap copyrighted software, music or video files online. " ....
"If successful, it could reshape a long legal tradition of shielding phone, cable and other communications companies from liability for the actions of their customers." .....
The BSA is asking Congress to change the DMCA to make it possible for the entertainment industry to get subpoenas from a clerk process instead of a judge and use them to force ISPs to turn over user information.
