What are you going to do about this 2257 shit?

Linkster, so far with the exception of a very few, most of the people bringing up the subject are trying to sell tracking software or DRM type arrangements for content. There has been a ton of "the sky is falling" stuff.

Personally, I think the new "rule clarifications" are not that, but in fact new laws and amendments to laws, which, when taken to a court of law, will be thrown out because these new laws were not passed by the house, the senate, and signed by POTUS. While they can calify rules with these adminstrative orders, they cannot create new offences where none previously existed, nor can they create retroactive paperwork requirements for individuals and companies that were previously exempt.

A few will get nailed, but like Acacia, someone will take them to court and things will settle back down.

1 more reason for Americans to vote Bush and his bullies out of office.
