The bill, which landed on the state's House and Senate floors Tuesday,
requires websites to display a "correct name, physical address, and
telephone number or e-mail address" of the owner if they play a
"substantial part in the electronic dissemination of commercial
recordings or audiovisual works, directly or indirectly." The
disclosure is required even if all the recordings or audiovisual works
disseminated by the website are owned by the website owner.

Typical nonsense from Florida. Good luck with that, boys.
