In a really brilliant move, some attorneys (and interns?) over at the EFF have prepared this draft complaint for a suit over the iPod. The complaint demonstrates, in direct, concrete terms the ways that Orrin Hatch’s recently-introduced INDUCE Act will harm consumers and the IT industry. This complaint would definitely survive the summary judgment stage because the analysis required by the INDUCE Act is so fact-intensive — so even if the record companies eventually lost, which is far from certain, they would be able to chill technological innovation with the threat of lengthy court battles.

Bravo.
