Crazy Congressman to hack into your pc for music?

It's interesting to watch the panic moves being considered now on the part of big business. I sense a shift on the RIAA's apart away from Napster-targeting to consumer-targeting directly -- and I can't WAIT to see how they're going to try and explain enforcement.

"Under the bill, companies would not be required to warn users in advance of their actions. A user wrongly attacked could sue only if he suffered more than $250 in economic losses and obtained permission to file a lawsuit from the U.S. attorney general."

How is it that that can be considered legal? I don't know enough about particular laws or the constitution but isn't there something somewhere saying that's unacceptable?

"our strategy = to hit the consumer where it really hurts"
