IMHO, there is more to it than "stupid" politicians - and most
politicians are quite bright. After all, why is the United States
Postal Service not subject to the same regulations? One can mail any
contraband one wants without the USPS being held responsible. As
someone likes to say, "follow the money" .... who stands to benefit from
such regulations? Who makes massive amounts of software covering a wide
variety of topics and does not have a united legal or political front?
If more and more open source software becomes harder and harder to get,
who stands to have their competition lessened? Answers are left as an
exercise for readers.
