Congressional Gotcha's
Wed Nov 24 2004 10:12 MST #There seem to be some interesting clauses lurking in the omnibus bills to be passed by the lame duck congress. First the Istook amendment to allow congressmen access to any citizens tax returns. And now a clause in the Intellectual Property omnibus to make it a crime to fast forward through commercials. Looks like the INDUCE Act is rolled up in the omnibus, as it both include clauses which make iTunes illegal.
Update: Looks like the Induce Act was stripped from the omnibus in the senate.
