Subject: What is your position on copyright legislation?



As a resident of district 15, I would like to know your position on

these issues:



Do you believe that vigilante attacks by the entertainment industry on

your computer should have the support of law?

Will you promise to vote against the Peer To Peer Piracy Prevention Act?

I haven't looked at that act in particular, so I can't promise.  I will say

that I oppose any government mandates on software or media, such as

requiring that media players look for special tags that verify that what's

being played has not been copied.



Do you want to make all current computers models illegal, and insist

they are replace by copy-prevention machines?

No.



Will you promise to vote against the Consumer Broadband Digital

Television Promotion Act?

Again, I'm not familiar with it.



Do you trust computers to judge and enforce complex issues of copyright

law?

Computers are tools, and have no judgment.



Will you work with Rep. Boucher to repeal the parts of the Digital

Millenium Copyright Act that give computer code the force of law and

make disagreeing with it a criminal offence?

I would help repeal the whole thing.
