repost from /., a great blog everyone here should read.

Basicly the RIAA wants permissions from congress to install root kit on your computer and fuck it up if they thing your downloading songs they don't want you to.

Given the wide spread abuse perpetrated by these companies, we must do something.

start by writing your local congressmen.

That is absolutely insane. This is the sort of thing that we should publicize. We should encourage others to write and call as well. Maybe set up an automated email that people can just fill in their information?
