Do media related digital laws really get paraded around news shows? I know I'm being naive, but it seems like most of the laws targeting the digital world flounder and die. Surely people realize that Congress is churning out PUPY? PUPY (püp pE) == Panicked, Unprincipled, Pandering Yuckiness My info-feed consists (pretty damned near) entirely of geek stuff. Most of what I read online in news stories and the like, people realize these laws are lame. *I* can laugh when Congress passes the CAN-SPAM act and claims it will cut down on spam. *I* know that the Communications Decency Act was unconstitutional and powerless. Doesn't everybody else? (At least, everybody who bothers to know anything about it.) -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
