Ars Technica is reporting that Congressman Howard Berman (AKA Congressman Hollywood) the chair of the Congressional Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property is advocating the gutting of the Safe Harbor Provision in the DMCA. Protecting copyright owners is critical, but Rep. Berman appears from this report (and this one) to be advocating the establishment of Information Police.

One more step towards 1984.
