Streamcast boss wants a seat at the table

P2P Net press release:

Senator Orrin Hatch and other interested parties should meet with members of the commercial p2p industry to discuss alternative language and solutions to the INDUCE Act, says StreamCast Networks ceo Mike Weiss, who wonders why no one from the industry was at Thursday's Senate Committee on the Judiciary hearing into it.
...
"Why is Congress turning a deaf ear towards learning the truth and hearing all sides of the story?" - Weiss asks in a statement released after the hearing...

The fact is that no one really wants to hear from the P2P networks concerning IICA. The INDUCE Act will put P2P out of business, why bother giving them a seat at the table? It would be like letting a person on death row have a say in his fate. There is nothing the P2P networks could contribute to the discussion because the only way they get what they want is if the INDUCE Act never passes. As we heard at Thursday's hearing, Sen. Hatch is adamant that something must be done about the P2P nets soon.

That's why you get no seat at the table, Mr. Weiss (but you can keep fighting from the sidelines).
