Indeed, they predict that Hatch's bill would ban digital music players, outlaw home videotaping, and force cats and dogs to sleep together. Well, never mind that last bit. But you get the idea.

Curiously, the story ends like this:
Quote:
Maybe it's because critics of the Hatch bill have gotten it wrong. After all, the bill would require a showing that the technology intentionally induces a copyright violation. [...] But what are the substantial legitimate uses for Grokster or Morpheus or Kazaa? Virtually none. The file-swapping programs are used almost exclusively by thieves, who rob recording artists of billions every year. Shed no tears for them. Weep instead for poor Orrin -- not a bad fellow, but misunderstood.
