Latest copy of INDUCE Act staff discussion draft
http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/doc/2004/induce_oct5.pdf
According to Princeton's Ed Felten,
This draft is narrower than previous ones, in that it tries to limit
liability to products related "peer-to-peer" infringement. Unfortunately,
the definition of peer-to-peer is overbroad. Here's the definition:
the term �peer-to-peer� shall mean any generally available product or
service that enables individual consumers� devices or computers, over a
publicly available network, to make a copy or phonorecord available to, and
locate and obtain a copy or phonorecord from, the computers or devices of
other consumers who make such content publicly available by means of the
same or an interoperable product or service, where �
(1) such content is made publicly available among individuals whose
actual identities [and electronic mail address] are unknown to one another;
and
(2) such program is used in a manner in which there is no central
operator of a central repository, index or [directory] who can remove or
disable access to allegedly infringing content.
By this definition, the Web is clearly a peer-to-peer system. Arguably, the
Internet itself may be a peer-to-peer system as well.
...here we go again!
