Some take-away items:* The RIAA wrote the Bill.* The Senator has limited knowledge of the workings of the Bill.* The Senator is not that familiar with the issues in depth and uses the 'internet' for email and Ebay and not much else.* Both the Senator and the Lobbyist equate unpaid for downloading of copyrighted material as the moral equivalent of shoplifting books from a bookstore.* The lobbyist personally feels that students who use school computer networks to download copyrighted material without paying should be expelled.
