Far more interesting for its possible affect on EDI is the Wikipedia (and other 
web sites') "go dark" day protesting the proposed 
SOPA(Stop OnlIne Piracy Act) legislation pending in the U.S. Congress.

You'd have to wonder how some zealous (junior) official at the copyright office 
might look at something like Art's links page at 
http://www.spe-edi.com/links.html#Standard were that to pass in its present 
form; or if someone at DISA might not get all pissy 
about the companies who have created their IGs with - preforce - lots of chunks 
of  the same text DISA uses and put them on their 
websites for the convenience of their trading partners.....

Let me see if I can find some kind of link or reference to this 
legislation...well, at least today you can get a kind of summary 
here...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act


Looks as though SOPA may have been derailed in its present form for a little 
while, but it's something to keep an eye on if you use 
the internet to find reference information when assisting your clients....
