Congress and CD Copy-Protection -- 7:22 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.) is asking the RIAA to explain why it is adding copy-protection to CDs, while still collecting royalties on blank media. This would appear to be in violation of 1992's Audio Home Recording Act. Ooooh, if only the RIAA would become open to lawsuits over this . . . Thanks Slashdot.
