IPac Pops Hatch

12 May 2006 | Technology | Ernesto Aguilar

The tech/intellectual-property political action committee IPac has launched FireHatch.com to oppose Orrin Hatch's reelection. Sayeth the site, "Hatch is as bad as it gets when it comes to shafting the public on copyright and technology policy. This is the guy who wants Hollywood's hackers to blow up computers that are used for unauthorized downloading. He championed a policy that authorizes jail time for sharing a single song on the Internet. Hatch also wrote 2004's ill-fated INDUCE Act. All of this support for Hollywood cartels might seem strange coming from a Utah Senator, but then you notice that entertainment companies have given Hatch hundreds of thousands of dollars." As these elections get closer, IPac promises even more action against politicians who support strict copyright controls.
