More Inductees To INDUCE ACT Stupidity

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

Ernest Miller continues his indefagitable invective around the fools (in this case, The Motley Fools) who really don't get why the INDUCE ACT is dangerous. The flapdoodle about the iPod being at risk is really not the point:

It isn't the iPod that is at risk, it is the small company's non-DRM'd wireless iPod clone that is at risk. The biggest threat is to the innovative next-generation iPod from some company that no one has heard of yet that the RIAA will quash long before it can sell millions of units and make us all wonder how we survived without one.

Not to mention the fledgling P2P social networking app (like Wiredreach, to name only one) that could be driven out of business in a moment. Or even Groove Networks, which doesn't have the deep pockets of an Apple.
