filrock writes "It looks like we'll have a little breathing room before the CBDTPA/SSSCA becomes law. Senator Leahy, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is against the bill. Read the article on Wired. Good to see someone in the Senate with some common sense."
They are working on a better offer we can't refuse.

Leahy will only pass a bill with such a name as the JLTDMCAWWTTTAAOYRAMAP (Just Like The Digital Millenium Copyright Act, We Will Try To Take Away All Of Your Rights As Much As Possible)

Most of the USian population could care less about time-shifting, or space-shifting, they don't care about fair use rights, they just want their entertainment in pre-packaged slices, like 'American' cheese.
Buuuuut...
Most of the population 'hates' pr0n, especially the Southern Baptist Convention and their ilk.
Too fight the CBDTPA, we should mount a campaign against it claiming that it protects the illicit profits of pornographers, after all, what is most traded on the Gnutella network?

It seems to me that at this point we should be wondering how long he could possibly hold up to his principles. Congress has no place for a man with morals. They'll chew one up and spit them out rather quickly; it's happened before, and will happen again.

But we just CAN'T have a 3rd party with a lot of power. That would ruin the binary political system.

A 30-second midday ad on a nationwide cable network in about 60 million homes runs only a few thousand dollars. Probably be seen in an average of 4 million homes, roughly.
Are you kidding me?? Hell, I might pony up a few grand just to tell a bunch of people to kiss my ass on national TV. Well, as many as I could cram into 30 seconds, anyway.
