I wonder if Righthaven is involved in this?
I’d bet my butt they are.
No, this is the regular copyright industry shills doing the bidding of their masters. Hatch is especially known to be in the pocket of industry. He's the one who previously tried to make it legal for the cartel to hack your computer if you're suspected of infringement, and tried to make it illegal to produce ANYTHING that could be used to induce copyright infringement, which would mean almost all electronic devices today.
Leahy is a common partner in crime of his. When they talk about how Hatch likes to join hands across the aisle, this is what they mean.
