Submission + - H.R. 4279: IP legislation for Federal seizure

MrSnivvel writes: H.R. 4279: Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008, is gaining momentum in Congress to allow the Feds to seize hardware that has even one file coming from "dubious origins", e.g. downloaded from P2P. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-4279 If passed into law, it's already made it past the House, would create an Intellectual Property Enforcement Division within the office of the Deputy Attorney General, and some other "it's for children" kind of lovin'. Rep. John Conyers is interviewed about the bill here: http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/e3i4552e786232dd91baa8a825cc2f79780
