Those links actually won't provide too much information. If it was just marked up in (sub)committee, the Senate Clerk (or some equivalent) needs to prepare a "Committee Print" that makes note of all the changes. This usually isn't ready for a few days after the mark-up, although if it is going to the full committee soon, theoretically, it should be available by that date, and then of course, available before the full Senate votes on it. However, with approp bills, it is not uncommon for the full print to become available mere hours (sometimes minutes) before the vote. Of course, these bills can be several hundred pages, and you know (wink wink) that every Senator and/or their staff has thoroughly read through that before the vote. The Committee or Subcommittee could be contacted, or the website could be checked, but unless you get a first hand account, or read about it in some trade press or from interest group (such as the EFF), it is very difficult to know what amendments are attached to these bills until a few days have elapsed. > As of yet I can not seem to find this bill, but a quick glance at my > senators webpage( http://shelby.senate.gov ) I see that he voted three times > today. > On an amendments: S.

All Hail the EFF!Seriously, there are some pretty worried folks with me here in Europe who really counts on you guys to win this war, and this really seems to be the final frontier. We have fought our own battles in the EU regarding IP/Patent-laws, broadcast flags (where we are currently much more restricted than the US) and copyright laws but we don't have much jurisdiction over your country. Please make this a win for the people, not for a single industry against all others (Hollywood vs. The World).Good Luck! Yours sincerely, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
