I'm just wondering what implications that would have in light of p2p file sharing being an international phenomenon.

If the US Congress passes the bill, it would give the RIAA (or whoever really does the hacking) rights to do something on home turf. It would not give them the right to do the same thing against someone outside the US. For such wide spread rights some kind of international treaty would be needed, I'd suspect.

Doesn't this put such a bill ad absurdum?

Comments anyone?
