I think your key word is ACTIVITIES. Personally I don't want laws to impact use of the internet. The internet is the one thing in this world that offers to some degree the free exchange of ideals across all borders. This is the true potential of the internet. It is this means which offers a balance of power which is necessary. JA> That really wouldn't surprise me.
