[ale] those of you reading this while within US jurisdiction should have a care....

[Kilroy, Chris]

my point was not to say that this issue was not a problem.


my point was about overreacting to the situation, specifically people worrying about alarm bells going off in the offices of their ISP when they download these text files to check this out.

I don't think we'll have death camps as a result of this legislation though, so i think we can keep the Nazi references to a minimum.  =)

to the point about a ballot box, it is hard for the ballot box to make a difference because the electorate knows *nothing* about this issue.  The percentage of the population that does understand the ramifications of DMCA will have to educate some of them, as well as educate politicians about the matter.
