Representative Howard Berman (D-CA) has announced that he is preparing a bill that would exempt copyright owners from employing techniques aimed at investigating Peer-to-Peer file trading networks. "While P2P (peer-to-peer) technology is free to innovate new and more efficient methods of distribution that further exacerbate the piracy problem, copyright owners are not equally free to craft technological responses," Berman has said. "This is not fair." As the law currently exists, argues the RIAA and Berman, copyright owners may be performing illegal acts when they sabotage P2P networks by various means. CNet News has coverage.
