Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] MPAA at it again.

[Krzysztof Kamieniecki]

Coincidentally I am moving into Congress Meehan's district this month. He is on
the "Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property"
http://judiciary.house.gov/committeestructure.aspx?committee=3 which will be
holding a hearing on the evil ANALOG Hole.

I spoke to one of his aids, told him this bill was stupid and that I oppose it.

I urge everybody who has a congress critter on that commitee to call them.
