Senate Tries to Enforce US Laws Overseas?
Orrin Hatch, the Utah Republican who chairs the Senate copyright subcommittee, made one of the most ominous statements to date about what might happen if unfettered piracy continues. "Before Russia enters the (World Trade Organization), many of us will have to be convinced that the Russian government is serious about cracking down on the theft of intellectual property," Hatch said during a hearing.
So now the US Government is going to enforce its copyright laws in other countries who do not have such laws. Wow. The sheer ego required to attempt this is baffling. I mean are the RIAA and MPAA really that powerful?
