I just finished doing my small part to stop the INDUCE act, aka “Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act of 2004” or S. 2560.

I spent ten minutes now in hopes that my DVD burner and digital camera won’t become controlled substances.
If you want to help, find your senators’ phone numbers. Call in and politely express your reservations about S. 2560. Here’s why the bill should scare you.
According to opensecrets.org, the TV/Movies/Music industry contributed over a half-million dollars to Barbara Boxer’s 2004 campaign. I can’t compete with that. But I can sure call her and tell her I think the new INDUCE act sucks.
My vote is not for sale, but Boxer can lose it by endorsing legislation I find offensive and wrong-headed.
