[Ecommerce] May 12 hearing on the Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act

[Jeff Williams]

Manon and all,

  Everyone that is going to attend this hearing may be well advised
to read carefully HR 107 The Digital Media Consumers' Rights
Act of 2003 which has little to do with Consumer Protection
much more to do with deceptive legislative practices and
erosion of consumer privacy..
