Congress calls to arms against pirates (News.com)
News.com looks
into a new congressional caucus devoted to combating piracy and
promoting stronger intellectual property laws. "Joining Wexler as
co-founder of the caucus is Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., who helped author a
note last fall to 74 fellow Democrats assailing the Linux open-source
operating system's GNU General Public License as a threat to America's
"innovation and security." Smith's district includes the Seattle surburbs
near Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., headquarters. The third founder is
Rep. Tom Feeney, R-Fla., a first-term congressman and former speaker of the
Florida House of Representatives who was once Gov. Jeb Bush's running
mate."
