Indepth Rebuttal of INDUCE Act FUD
from the thank-you-Ernest dept
Ernest Miller writes "As noted previously on Techdirt, the INDUCE Act or Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act, whichever you prefer, has been officially introduced. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), provided an extensive floor speech in support of the proposed legislation that lays out the most common arguments in favor of the bill. I've gone through that speech and rebutted it line-by-line." Worth reading, though it may upset you that this sort of crap has already gotten as far as it has, and may continue to move forward.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
