So, missed the chance to see the INDUCE hearing last week? Too bad… Congress doesn’t keep the video accessible. Out of luck, I guess – who’s going to serve up a huge video of a Congressional hearing?

How about we the people? Isn’t this the sort of problem that p2p was designed to solve? Well, there’s a .torrent here to provide you with your very own free and legal video of the hearing! Grab a copy, and be sure to leave the torrent running so that you share! (for more information on BitTorrent, as well as a client, go here) Alternatively, if you prefer a p2p application that supports magnet, try this instead.

There are two great effects to this: 1) people have access to raw and unfiltered information about the workings of their government, and 2) it rather forcefully makes the point that p2p can be used for truth, justice, and the American way… Help us demonstrate what p2p can do – make information that is not otherwise available accessible easily, cheaply, and legally!

ADDENDUM by Rebekah: For the broadband deficient (or, in addition to watching the video), check out Ross’s excellent report on the hearing.

For those who haven’t been following INDUCE, check out LawMeme’s collection of Ernest Miller’s writings on the INDUCE Act.
