Nothing like politicians getting a taste of their own medicine to get changes through. The question is will anyone remember this in one month, much less 6-12?

I hope they do. There's nothing like experiencing it first hand to drive change in the future :-)

A timely confluence of concepts 1)free speech, 2)privacy (no originalist Constitutional right we've been told & that includes opinions of allegedly likely McCain judicial appointees - seriously) & 3)piracy (arguably a legislative construct absent objective actuarial measurements - language currently dominated with allegedly better access to the "law"-making) - especially interesting in view of the quick Pro-IP Act being signed into law ... Fair use is not a right - it & first sale doctrine are the typical tools in protecting yourself against allegations of infringement (even under DMCA) - clearly, this debate belongs to *ALL* Americans ... We cannot predict the hits but we can create an environment which is equitable & enables innovative value creation in an information age ... (stop attacking inventors, to start)
