Unfortunately your politicians that come up with these clangers don't listen to us outside of the US complaining that they're insane! ;o) Sounds a bit like those who put it forward have started to get an inkling that through their rose-tinted non-technical eyes, the issue is not quite as clear cut as they thought! Not that I have much faith in a revised bill being sensible either mind you. Single sided justification for a control always works. We could get rid of all murderers in an instant with the Explosive Renewal Act 2012! Just have to blow up the city - we guarantee it will work though! :o) It's a very common problem in our industry, all joking aside. Organisations often waste huge amounts of money investing in something that focuses in isolation to the perceived benefits without any consideration to the negative effects or overall picture. Yes, piracy needs to be tackled and IP protected. No, opposing a ridiculous, ill-thought out private take over of the Internet does not make you anti-copyright and a criminal. Examine closely the morals of some of those who are spouting that kind of rhetoric right now .. not exactly role models! Think I better hide that soap box before someone bruises a finger =)
