Congress does not have to make a law at all. the National Highway Safety Board justs issues a determination in the Federal Register for 90 days for auto manufacturers to install an device in cars to dampen the signal for text messaging while the engine is running. If they can dampen cell phones signals in buildings, they can do this. As for current cars already on the road, the Congress can only pass a law for vehicle on the Interstate Highway System. They do not have the authority to govern state or local roads.

RIAA is on;y doing what Congress is letting them do. The property rights of millions of songs are no longer owned by the original songwriters. Nickel and dime publishing companies (i.e. Rhino, SOny, EMI) buy the rights to the songs ten to twenty years after old songs are originally recorded. These are the companies that RIAA is really protecting. The companies republish the songs overseas on cheap quality CDs, and send them back to US. The original artist and the songwriter do not received any royalities for these re-recordings. This is pure profit for these companies.
People listen to classic rock everyday on the radio and those artists don't get zip for royalities but thoses publishing companies that RIAA supports do. If these publishing companies are getting royalities of 2-3 cents each time one of their songs are played and 4-5 dollars each time as CD is sold. We should be abled to download a song for no more than 10 cents each and a dollar per single sided CD (128 kbps). This should make the publishing companies happy. The 99 cents per song is greedy.
p.s. no one is complaining that HDTV signals to the plamsa and LCD are copyrighted and no one can record them in HD.
