TechDaily (subscription required) this afternoon has a Delphic report on S. 2560. It notes that Rick Finkelstein, President of Universal Pictures, flew in to lobby the Judiciary Committee for stronger copyright protection, but adds that Universal "refrained from endorsing the bill in its current form because of last minute changes."

The report goes on to note that lobbying this week has been "intense," but that despite this, or perhaps because of it, Thursday's mark-up session may not attract enough attendees to approve the bill. In other words, the Senators, caught in a furious cross-fire among content, tech, telecom, and other industries are heading for the hills.
