I find it interesting that Microsoft was not in attendance at the meeting called by the Senate committee chaired by Orin Hatch, (compliments of the RIAA and MPAA).

Quoting the article:

"The Copyright Office, an influential agency organised under the US Congress, prepared the draft legislation after a meeting last Thursday convened by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, whose chairman, Orrin Hatch, is pushing hard to enact some version of the Induce Act this year. Last week's meeting was attended by representatives from IBM, Apple, Hewlett-Packard, the Business Software Alliance, the RIAA and the Motion Picture Association of America."
