When everyone is a publisher, publishers lose rights?

                     Congress should consider
                     approving a law to remove some
                     privacy protections from
                     journalists and publishers. "With
                     the advent of the Internet and
                     widespread computer use, almost
                     any computer can be used to
                     'publish' material," says the draft
                     document, which also
                     recommends reduced privacy
                     rights for cable modem users.
