In other words, the government doesn't need to have access to all of our communications on the internet in order to protect systems which shouldn't be on the internet.
If there is a danger to secured SCADA systems or air traffic control communications, then rightfully the government should have some authority to police those systems.
It's interesting that a legislator would want this law seeing as how much of the government is perfectly comfortable with asking people to hand over vials of their own urine in order to get/stay employed.
We should all get down on our knees and thank everything that's holy that the US DOJ has caught, convicted, imprisoned and otherwise deactivated all violent criminals and terrorists so that they can now devote the proper amount of attention to saving Hollywood from the Internet.
This would be great if it were ALL and ONLY RIAA musicians, and the music was locked down as tight as possible and nothing but 22khz, 1-minute streams, no cover art larger than 320x240 pixels, etc.
Then, the RIAA could stop trying to destroy the internet in order to "stop piracy" and everyone else could go on about their lives.
As the commenter up thread said, we need a .movie and .cable domain too.
Why would the Department of Entertainment Justice risk having something silly like evidence get in the way of a perfectly good case against a "rogue site"?
It's just astounding to me that now, in the "Information Age" we should need someone to explain why the things written in a three-hundred-and-forty-year-old document (the Constitution) are important.

But this is not what they are asking for.
We Can Only Hope
If there really were a true and just God, then the MPAA and the RIAA would both be destroyed in a Digital Pearl Harbor.
Ha Ha Ha
This is why the MPAA and the RIAA don't have comment sections on their "blogs"
The public isn't supposed to participate in copyright, they're just supposed to buy things protected by copyright.
What Next?
What this may mean is that a small, rich, vocal cabal of music fans could grow to have an undue impact on the way music progresses...
Would they call themselves the VCAA?

[O]n the other hand, it's a little bit ironic that that's the case in a country where you can be killed by drone with no judicial review.
So why not tweak the business model a bit and offer a murder-for-hire drone service?

Awesome
After thirty years, Hollywood has finally managed to kill the VCR.

Not So Fast
Remember when DOT limited speedometer displays to 85mph?
That pretty much put an end to people driving faster than 85.

But apparently we do. Thanks.
